How does one measure that sort of thing? The more that I am exposed to other races and ethnicities the more that I realize that all sorts of people have some crazy stereotypes about race. Some I hadn't even heard of before because I am not apart of that race.

I don't think anyone is that STUPID. I know there are people who drop out of school, or get poor educations in school that lead them to ignore black swan theory. But I doubt to this level.

Is their a study, poll, or something that reflects this conclusion?

And who wants to associate with people like that?
So you think all blacks in Ferguson were looting that night? You don't really believe that do you?

All of that goes out the window when their walking through stores or happen to be walking behind a White person on the sidewalk or the parking lot. Trust me, I've seen this first hand on many occasions. Black males are still "feared" in this country.

So it is absurd for a group of people to talk about being treated unfairly when they themselves routinely do the same thing. And that was the question asked by the OP.
Cry me a river .

Better yet why don't you post stats by Blacks that were victims of crimes by Asians, and Asians that were victims of crimes by Blacks and then get back to me.

When was the last time in the US that you saw Asians rioting in the streets burning down Black owned businesses and attacking Blacks( or others BTW) for no reasons at all???

Probably never.

These people looting and rioting for the most parts don't really work, maybe those that get caught engaging in looting and violence should be banned from collecting welfare, section 8 and food stamps.

That way they would have to actually find a job and won't have time to engage in the self destruction of their own neighborhoods.

Well, I was just talking about my personal experiences, but there are studies that back up my assertion:

More Americans View Blacks As Racist Than Whites, Hispanics - Rasmussen Reports™

Even Blacks says Blacks are the most racist:

"Among black Americans, 31% think most blacks are racist, while 24% consider most whites racist and 15% view most Hispanics that way."
