I am from Spain, and your question was pretty offensive the first time I saw it. Now I just feel bad for you. You are complaining about spaniards being the most racist... based on what fact? That's absolutely not true. There's no such a thing as a "spaniard" way of being. There are about 47 million of us with different personalities. Of course, some are racist, that's the unfortunate truth, but what nation doesn't have racist people at all?
By the way, the way in which you wrote your question is absolutely racist. You are trying to put a color to Spanish people, saying we are not the whitest... What does that mean? Should we feel bad that we are darker than Norwegians? With all my respect, I really recommend you travel the world a little more and meet waaaaay more people before you dare say things like that.
After all, I can see that you're against racism, and I like that. But be careful how you try to fight it... Racism won't fight racism, and if you dislike it, make an effort to avoid racist comments. I'm sure you didn't even realize you are being racist with your question, but read it from the eyes of a Spaniard who absolutely hates racism and is proud to have grown up in an environment where racism is condemned.
Racism is absolutely not ok in my country.
First or all, Spaniards are white. The Catholic Kings made and ethnic cleansing during the Reconquista. Spaniards can not pass as Midle Easterns (have you ever been in the Middle East?) Just look at this:

You're generalizing. Spain is not a racist country and most Spaniards are not racist. There are more racists in your country.
How many Spaniards have you met? Four idiots who don't represent the majority? There are idiots everywhere, sadly. Have you ever visited Spain?
Most Spaniards love America and Americans.
You are an ignorant on this issue and your question and affirmations are very insulting.
You're an American and you're talking about racism? That's absolutely hilarious, your country is one of the most racist countries in the western world.
Guess you've never heard about police in southern states being allowed to check the ID of any hispanic looking people in case they're illegal immigrants?
Or how there are hardly any POC in the media despite the US being a giant melting pot?
What about African Americans being segregated into poorer Neighbourhoods?
Have you heard about Treyvon Martin who was shot for essentially being black?
What about Hispanics and African Americans being stopped and search 90% more times than white people?
Your question is a joke.
Coming from an American. They're pretty racist to. Oh and at least they don't have enjoying whiney accents like Americans. Ps I'm not a spink I'm irish
do you have actual evidence like legit evidence tht every Spaniard is racist??? if not stf stop beliving everything you seen on the web
pfffff typical British Troll
Everyones racist. Period.
Why does YA allow postings like this? If it were about black folks and not Hispanics ...
Yahoo Answers sure hates them hispanics ...
Well this is an ironic question.
Our of all nationalities, Spaniards I've seen are the most racist.
even online! Where no one can see your face and can say whatever you want, other nationalities like American, British, German, Mexican, Canadians, Japanese etc. seem more mature.
I can't even count how many times I've encountered racist Spaniards. One in the Other Cultures and Groups section told a Honduran/Spaniards how could his father marry a dirty Central American, and to jot call himself half Spanish and don't come to Spain, since Spaniards hate all Latin Americans and blacks.
um, well no offense, but Spaniards aren't exactly the whitest people. They're mixed, like a lot of S. Europeans. 700+years of Moorish rule. And no it wasn't only south Spain. The moors, Jews, and Spaniards loved together and mixed, and when serious Saharan Muslims saw this, they got mad. That is real history, not fake history made for people who don't wanna accept the truth.
and no I'm not saying white = blue eyes and blonde hair, since even white Germans, Americans etc. with brown hair and eyes look white, unlike Spaniards who can pass as Middle Eastern normally.
its ridiculous for them to hate when Spain is in crisis right now, and now they're immigrating to Latin America, and even Latin America opened their doors to them when their country was in war.
and no I'm not Mexican Peruvian or anything.
I'm American.
