Many claim to not be racist, but in their speech and lifestyle it is very evident that the majority of Americans ARE racist. People can claim all they want that they are not racist, but likely on some level they are.

Many Americans suffer from a racial mentality.
Racism comes in many forms.
True racism is a combination of stereotypical prejudice and denial of truth through capitalization on those prejudices.
Example: Native Americans.
It is very natural for human beings to put things into categories, and to be afraid of what is unfamiliar. When thes e natural tendancies are combined with the presence of different sorts of people, it is to be expected that racism will occur. .

Its hard NOT to be racist sometimes. Especially when your raised in an racism family. Trends breed trends. It goes oooonnnn and oooonnn.
Its not always the obvious things that make someone a racist. Its the way you judge people mentally
