not looking to ban you...
I would think it all depends on how old you are. and where you grew up.
if you were in your Teens back in the Civil movement days, you should be less of a racist. Unless of course you are still living in those days.
Guess we are witnessing some of the old timers from the South.
There's also a New racist type, towards some Muslims. and of course the reason behind that is 9/11
Anyway, I could remember back in the 60's where some of my friends were racist or had racist views.
I also had a group back in the 70's that were mixed in races. Some groups that were all White, that leaned racist.
Guess again it depends on where you were and who you hung out with.
I know one thing, if you used the "N" word around my parents, you got your mouth washed out with soap. lol
To me a Thug has no Color. Either you are a Thug, or you're not.

I dont like illegal Ecuadorians and Guatemalans ruining the parks in my town and county.
If your offended that's to damn bad.
You have your stance and I have mine.
I've become less tolerant of people who use racism as an excuse. They're using it as a wedge issue, they use it merely because you have different opinions in the political arena, they use it because they perceive themselves to be victims
I think they're fucking idiots, skin color has nothing to do with it. It's all about the words they speak

they have been gobbling real estate assets all over the damn place; favorite spots seem to be australia, vancouver, toronto, california, london. Making real estate less affordable for locals. Just buy, may not even live there, house empty...lol. Does California have a foreign buyers tax? British Columbia recently set this in, Vancouver is a real estate shit show. Ontario is thinking of implementing. Read France increased residential real estate foreign buyers tax from 15% to 65%, wow.
Chinese love real estate

things slowing down since China's local reforms?
The turnaround in activity, industry officials say, is directly linked to policies in China.

</aside>The San Gabriel Valley, long the destination of Chinese home buyers looking to provide their families a better living environment as well as safeguard their wealth in American assets, is feeling the effects of BeijingÂ’s crackdown on capital flight.
Chinese citizens, wary of a faltering economy, have been pouring money abroad, fueling a buying spree of overseas assets in recent years that has pumped up property values from London to Los Angeles.
Though Chinese policymakers generally favor diversifying the countryÂ’s wealth into foreign holdings, they were unprepared for the magnitude and speed of the outflows. In order to invest overseas, Chinese citizens must dip into the countryÂ’s foreign exchange reserves. Those reserves peaked at $4 trillion in 2014 but have since dwindled by a staggering $1 trillion.
That has left the nation’s cache of foreign currency at its lowest level in almost six years — troubling a government in Beijing that needs the money to stabilize its currency and maintain good standing with the International Monetary Fund.
To defend against capital flight, Chinese regulators allow citizens to take out only $50,000 a year. But thatÂ’s been largely ignored and circumvented, often by asking dozens of friends and family to exercise their quota on someone elseÂ’s behalf.
“It’s like ants moving rice,” said Helen Chen Martson, a San Gabriel Valley real estate agent for Keller Williams.
The deluge in Chinese money made it exceedingly hard for local buyers to compete.
It took Veling Tsai, a doctor with a private practice in Alhambra, three years to buy a house after looking all over the San Gabriel Valley. He and his wife grew deflated after attending crowded open houses in Arcadia and San Marino, where Mandarin-speaking competition almost always made all-cash offers. The couple had five bids rejected.
“It was really frustrating,” said Tsai, 44, a Taiwanese immigrant who ended up paying $200,000 over asking price for a $1.5-million home in South Pasadena. “I think I make a good living. But even being a doctor, I couldn’t afford some of these houses because people were buying them like Starbucks coffees.”
