White people are more racist than the rest?

Actually, no, that aint true. Let me demonstrate.

I live in Britain, so I'll go with the population there. In Britain, approxiametly 85% of the population is white, for the purpose of simplicity, I'm gonna call it 90%. That means 10% are non-white. Let's take those percentages and simplify the equation further:

Welcome to "Little Britain", population; twelve. Now, 90% of the population of "Little Britain" is white (for the mathematically challenged, that's 10 and-a-bit, we'll call it 10 people) and 20% are non-white (i.e. 2 and-a-bit, we'll call it 2 people) and all twelve of these people are racists sons-of-bitches. On average, everyone one of these people commits 5 acts of racism every day. These acts can be anything; an insult, a biased promotion, whatever. For the purposes of simplicity, we'll just assume they are all insults.

Now, every day those 10 white people sling 5 racial slurs each (for a total of 50) at the nonwhite people, each nonwhite person is a victim of racism 25 times a day. The nonwhite people do exactly the same thing, they sling 5 insults each, every day. This means that the white people are insulted just once every day. The inherent problem here being that despite the fact that nonwhite people are every bit as racist as white people, they are more likely to experience racism because they are the minority. Chat with a white person in South Africa, for them, its the other way round. Like Beharry said, "Sometimes you the bug, sometimes you the windshield".

When will there be equality? Well, let's see. In order for the white people to experience 25 acts of racism a day, the nonwhite people have to each sling 125 racial slurs every day. In other words, they have to be 25 times more racist than white people.

But wait, there's another way...If nobody commits any acts of racism, then nobody experiences any racism at all! That's the perfect solution, and one we should all strive towards.
