Hmmm lots of people call me "close minded" for being racist. But I have good reasons for it. To the general public racism is regarded as close minded, and usually White-Racists are stereotyped as uneducated, redneck morons. Being close minded refers to the inability to accept change; to "think outside of the box" so to speak... and yet society detests racism and it's generally accepted that racism is evil. Therefore if you think outside the box you would be "open minded" and thus if you are racist you "think outside the box" and therefore you are open minded. I am not "racist" really just racially aware, but think about it: the reason racism is detested is because society thinks so, and thus people who believe we are all equal are the ones who are not looking for an alternative idea, and therefore they are more close minded than Racists.
