1. For racialists to be right then 99% of Americans would have to be wrong. How likely is that?

2. I know you bigots are wrong. I work with/go to school with/am friends with blacks/Hispanics and they are some of the brightest people I know.

3. Black and other minorities are people just like you and me.  They work, go to school, live and have hopes and dreams just like the rest of us.

 

4. Oh, come on! All you racists are the same. You are all white supremacists who want to take over the world and put all non-whites in concentration camps.

 

5. Race is nothing but a false construct. Scientists agree, there is no such thing as race.

 

6. Racialism is un-Christian.

 

7. All race differences are merely external (hair texture, skin color, etc.).

 

8. The idea of racial superiority is an outmoded European worldview first fostered centuries ago. Racialists are ignorant of modern society.

 

9. If scientists could link racial characteristics to genetics we all would have heard about it by now.  It would be the biggest story of the century.

 

10. Racialism is flawed logic.  Bigots once claimed that the Irish were inferior.  Now they are some of the smartest, richest people on the planet.

 

11. There is no way to define who is white, who is black, etc.  There are no pure races.  We are all mixed, so race is a useless term.

 

12. Our nation is already a multiracial, multicultural country. Like it or not we're all in this together so we had better learn to live together.

 

13. If racialists were in charge then we would wind up putting all non-whites into concentration camps. That, and segregation are the only alternatives to our multiethnic society.

14. Racialists are Hitler-loving Nazis.

 

15. Diversity is a strength.  Racialism is divisive and weakens a nation.

16. There is more genetic variation within racial groups than between them so racial distinctions are meaningless.

 

17. We need to judge people as individuals and not as members of some race.  I live and act in the world as an individual, I do nothing as "a White person."

18. You racists were responsible for the Holocaust, for the Nazis and the Second World War, for genocide against Native Americans, for lynchings, for Jim Crow laws, for the KKK, and slavery.  If you think that anyone is going to listen to you with that kind of history, then you're crazy.

 

19. Racialists oppose immigration but this is a nation of immigrants.  If it weren't for immigration you wouldn't even be alive.

20. It's ridiculous to be proud of your race. You can only be proud of individual accomplishments not of an unearned, involuntary genetic inheritance.

21. You talk about blacks and crime but most blacks are decent law-abiding citizens.

22. Blacks and Hispanics may commit crimes but so do whites.

23. Blacks don't commit more crimes than whites, it's just that the police are racist.

24. Blacks and whites are 99% genetically identical so race is meaningless.
