TRUE LIFE: I'M RACIST
Would you ever openly admit to being a racist? Were you brought up to believe that people with skin colors other than your own are inferior? Do you hang out only with people of your own race? Do you feel that the country would be a better place if people from each race would just stick to their own? Do you treat people from other races differently from how you treat people who look like yourself? Do people look down on you because you make racial statements you didn't even realize were offensive? Is being perceived as a racist standing in the way of a goal, a job, or a relationship?

Or.... Do you have a friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, or family member who is racist? Does the way they feel about a race affect your life and you'd like to try and do something about it? Does the fact that they are racist affect your relationship to them?

If you appear to be between the ages of 17 and 27 and can relate to any of the above questions, please send an email to Racist@mtvn.com with your story. Please include your name, location, phone number, and a photo.
