I say this from the point of view as a fairly average white guy that wish harm to anyone really, want to deprive anyone of their rights for any reason, treat anyone as less than human, or wish anything negative on anyone.
But yes, disliking black people, white people, men, women, Mexicans, gays, etc is perfectly fine and quite normal. Accepting this fact is the only way to move past 2 of our societies biggest problems. Racism and political correctness.
You can't like over 7 billion people, it's impossible, you're going to dislike the majority of them. Just like you dislike some people you work with. It isn't racist, it's just the fact were not all the same. Hating someone, wanting them to come to harm, depriving them of their rights, etc based purely on things beyond their control now that's racism. But not wanting to be around someone, not wanting to associate with them, finding them irritating for who they are as a person is normal. We all have disliked a lot of people.
For instance I watched Kings of comedy on TV today. I laughed some but I found the typical black comedian style of humor from that time period to be obnoxious and I wouldn't have had any fun having to sit in that crowd of jumping around, hooting and hollering, screaming black people and I'd have been annoyed. Meanwhile I find Dave Chapelle fucking hillarious because he falls more in line with me and thus so does his crowd which I'd have been fine to sit in. It isn't racist, it's just one type of people I don't mesh well with while the other type I do while both performers are still black.
I work somewhere where I see a lot of people from around the country and the world, a lot. I find I don't like New Yorkers, people from jersey, people from Florida, India, etc. Nothing to do with their skin color, I just find them irritating. Doesn't make me racist against indians, it's just on the whole they are unfriendly and very entitled people. The southern black folks tend to be loud and obnoxious. And so on. I also don't care for children because I have none, never grew up around them and I am unable to relate to them. And so on. I tolerate them but I don't like them and not liking someone is not the same as hating them. But I have met some blacks, Mexicans, indians, children and so on I quite liked and get along great with. I don't like a lot of gay people I meet that project this gay persona hard like they are playing a part, real flamers as a lot of them are, but I work with a gay dude for 2 years before I found out he was gay and even then I didn't care because we were alike, he is still cool to me and we work well together.
So just remember, it's ok to not like a group of people. Not liking someone is fine. We have too much emphasis on you have to like and have to accept every single person on the planet (which is impossible) but you aren't allowed to dislike anyone.
If we all accept this fact, if we all just focus on what makes us as individuals happy, if we extend basic curtiousy to people we don't like when face to face and ignore them the rest of the time then this would be a much happier and better world.
