    Few people would have an appreciation of both points of view and the ability to rationalise the argument.

    Do they hang out here?

    In my lifetime of living in the USA I've never experienced any discrimination being white. Maybe you could elaborate your point so I could understand it more clearly? You're probably talking about Affirmative Action?

    Yes.

    Affirmative Action, not being able to get business loans like female/minority counterparts, not being able to have White Male college funds when Blacks and Asians, Hispanics, Females can have them w/o a problem. The list goes on and on.

    Arabs in Israel.. but thats'the fault of the few dangerous arabs with extreme islamic beliefs.
    It's the same as thinking all African Americans steal just because one person did so. The crimes are greater so the discrimination against them becomes greater.

    blame the victim. The society makes an excuse for themselve to justify their immoral behavior.
    but i agree, arabs are by far more discriminated against.

    While formally equal according to Israeli law, a number of official sources acknowledge that Arab citizens of Israel experience discrimination in many aspects of life.

    Israeli High Court Justice (Ret.) Theodor Or wrote:

    A recent poll by the Center Against Racism (2008) found a worsening of Jewish citizens' perceptions of their Arab counterparts:

    * 75% would not agree to live in a building with Arab residents.
    * More than 60% wouldn't accept any Arab visitors at their homes.
    * About 40% believed that Arabs should be stripped of the right to vote.
    * More than 50% agree that the State should encourage immigration of Arab citizens to other countries
    * More than 59% think that the culture of Arabs is a primitive culture.
    * When asked "What do you feel when you hear people speaking Arabic?" 31% said they feel hate and 50% said they feel fear, with only 19% stating positive or neutral feelings.

    Let's see... many arabs in or around Israel believe in islam. Many muslims following islam believe in killing Jews are this is proven by the actions of some. Israeli's have a fear of those who try to kill them, but have no way of really knowing who is and who isn't.

    I don't see how this poll shows racism, it shows that terrorism has been working though.

    discrimination: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/discrimination
    I guess we also forgot to ask how you define "more"

    More ways that judgements are made?
    More impact from those judgements?

    Judgements that are based on irrational fears? or rational?

    Racism exist in all part of the Worlds for political reasons and social standards.

    An orthodox Jew living in KSA, an Muslim living Israel, Blacks living in Missouri and many other examples are all true.

    People just normally as humans feel better when they are surrounded by people of their kind.

    Peace,
