Openly racist people of Reddit, why are you racist?

Im gonna sugarcoat the hell out of this, Im guilty of "expecting" certain behavior from a certain race, which i wish i didnt because I've had nice friends of said race who were 100% not like how I expected. I dont hate the race, I hate the people in the area i live in (which happen to be all the same race), Ive heard people of the same race even say the ones where I live are rude and disrespectful. I live in a ghetto-esque city, and I've tried hard not to be prejudice, and stick up for those who were being targeted but after having to move several times because the neighbors ive had, who were all the same race in each scenario were so rude and disrespectful that I kind of developed prejudices. I know not everyone of this race is rude and disrespectful, but for the ones where I live, most are. It doesnt mean the color of their skin or ethnicity is making them this way, its just how they are brought up, same goes for any race, its just a rather large coincidence that most people of this race I know in my city are very rude.
