The problem is that all races suffer from racism, and some members of all races (I should stress not all members) express racism. This is something we sometimes forget. Some people from all races are racist, yet, there is a perception that we concentrate on white people being racist to non-whites.
I think part of the problem is that people meet people from other races, and assume they are all like that. Clearly, they aren't. You could meet me, and, depending on the mood I am in, I can be fairly outgoing and am usually friendly, sometimes loud. If you didn't know any English people, you could assume we are all friendly, outgoing and loud. We aren't (I'm not, always).If you met Nugget or Mr Love Monkey, you could end up assuming all the English are perverts
.
People see the actions of a few extremists, and assume that all muslims are violent bigots. Which isn't true. Most muslims, while they do have problems with muslims marrying non-muslims (let's not forget, Islam is not the only religion that has problems with it's followers marrying outside the religion), are perfectly happy to get on with things peacefully, and get one with people.
