In my experience, Blacks are the most racist towards other groups. So you should apply your same sentiments to Black Americans.
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.
Seriously? 4 million+ black people in this country and it is totally acceptable to you to judge them by the actions of the looters and criminals? That is such illogical thinking.
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.
No. No they don't. Across the board, well-behaved well-spoken blacks are treated the same as other non-white groups. Then when any member of those groups, whites included, start acting and dressing like wannabe hoodlums, of course they will be shunned and treated with suspicion and prejudice.
Is their a study, poll, or something that reflects this conclusion?
Exactly. What everyone in the world keeps seeing in the news are images of African Americans rioting and looting every time they perceive some wrong to one of their own or just taking advantage of the situation. The LA, Oakland and now Ferguson riots, Blacks smashing and taking belongings from innocent businesses and people who have no connection at all to the police or justice system. 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?
No. No they don't. Across the board, well-behaved well-spoken blacks are treated the same as other non-white groups. Then when any member of those groups, whites included, start acting and dressing like wannabe hoodlums, of course they will be shunned and treated with suspicion and prejudice.
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.

You've provided some details of your life and personal choices. Ok but irrelevant. I didn't not seek your advice on how to deal with said racism as I am 100% capable of making those decisions without your input. Asians still remain the most consistently racist group of people I deal with. Many other Africans have shared the same sentiment. 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:
"Among black Americans, 31% think most blacks are racist, while 24% consider most whites racist and 15% view most Hispanics that way."
