Do most white people consider themselves superior to other races?
The problem is that they don't realise it.Most of them will tell you that they don't. But privilege is a tricky, blinding thing. Had you asked the question "Do non-white people realise how much whites are constantly discriminating against them?" then you would have had many an interesting answer. The defensiveness in the answers above is already something to go by, mind you.It's really in the very simple things.I have a friend, a white male, who thinks any work I show him elicits that I want his 'advice' on it. I don't see him doing that with other people we know in our design school over past year or so that I've known him. But he does it with me. As a result, I try less and less to show him any of my work. I always thank him for his 'friendly' advice because whenever he decides to give me this 'advice', because it's true that I get a bit cross and glare at him a bit when this happens. When he acts as if he can't see how cross I am, I am just relieved that we didn't argue and thank him. And so it continues in a vicious continuum, because I guess he'll reckon I liked his advice.I think this kind of 'overnice-ness' is also one of the strategems of superiority. They either dismiss you if they're really racist, or they are overly kind and nice and ginger and generous with you. [Edit: Of course this 'over-niceness' is like neo-tokenism, because he first forced his advice on me, and then he's being overly nice that I glared at him, instead of getting the message that I can ask for help when I need it, and that I'd rather be friends on a more genuine rather than "give and take" relationship.]I am in a school full of white people, and the easiest way to get their attention to me or get them to know me better is to talk about the country I come from, even if it's about the most mundane thing. This kind of constant reminder that makes the 'white perspective' is some kind of 'default' way to look at things is what is so exhausting. I have been in the opposite situation too: in a class full of brown people with one or two white exchange kids. The brown kids never assumed that their point of view was a default one, and in fact they made sensitive links through appropriate cultural references and approached the foreigners to make them welcome. watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAv8JA_9uKI
Why white people consider themselves superior to black people?
I'm white, and I really do look at everyone as 100% equal. I always have, because I was raised that way, and blessed with wonderful parents..You know why? Because it is wrong and conceited to think you, or the race which you belong to is "superior" to another race. So when you ask why white people think they are, first off all, SOME do but not all, and second there is no valid answer to this. I don't care what excuse people give you, it is not right. My father was married to another women before I was born, who happened to be black and they had a kid together, (who is one of my older half sisters) and guess what? She's black. How could I possibly think I am superior to blacks when one of my closest sisters happens to be. I actually love black people, just like many other people of all kinds of races. I have never had any problem with them, I have never ever stereotyped them, judged them, made them feel any less of a human being. And it really does bother me to know that, 2016, there are still racist people out there towards them. And it may not be just racist whites, but I do understand why sometimes people tend to generalize white american's as racist, because we really don't make it look good on our part, even on here there are some really racist people. But as you can see, not every white person thinks they are superior. I am proof of that.
Why are white people considered the superior race?
Also, why is any lighter skinned person seen as higher than a darker skinned person , not just in America but, around the world. Chinese are "whiter" than the japanese or other asian races. The main cause of racism is the superiority complex of lighter skinned races. not because of other reasons.
Why do some white people think that black people are inferior?
The original question is:Why do some white people think that black people are inferior?Answer:Privileged people tend to think that less-privileged people ought not to exist, but if they do, they should exist only to serve the greater-privileged people. They believe they have been born to be the rulers, and the others are there only to be their servants. These people do not have love or respect for other human beings; they consider them to be just objects to be used and exploited.This is amplified when skin color involved. There is no earthly basis for people of one skin color to feel superior to people with a different one. But that feeling of privilege, of “I got here first, therefore I own it,” of "I've got mine, and rightly so, and I should own most of yours too," taken to be a right instead of just an accident of history, infects their minds.The northern European countries developed superior weapons of warfare that enabled them to overpower the peoples of less-developed countries and to subjugate them relatively easily, allowing them to feel entitled by their "God" and their "holy book," the Bible or the Qur'an, to put others at their feet and to serve them.But if those weapons and that bible had been developed sooner by the southern African or Asian countries, then the situation might have been reversed.
So black people, how are you superior to white people?

What makes some white people consider themselves a superior race?
For the same kind of reasons that makes some Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Jews, Russians, Scandanavians, etc. consider themselves superior.EVERY society in the world regards itself (originally) as superior to all others. WE do things right; THEY do things different, and therefore are wrong. They worship the wrong god. Their skin is the wrong color. They eat the wrong food, and it tastes revolting. Their hair looks funny. That’s human nature.When power politics - which all societies practice, at one time or another - leads to one group of people consistently dominating others, as the West as done for much of the past millennium, it reinforces such prejudices, making their racism stronger and more visible. Those who are dominated, on the other hand, may wind up thinking of themselves as “inferior.” But in fact much of the time they think (understandably) “We are still superior in the way we look, the way we behave, the gods we worship, how we marry, what we eat, everything that matters - EXCEPT military power, which we will manage to get back some day.”And if you are following Quora with your eyes and ears open, you should also be aware of the views of some non-white Quorans who clearly consider themselves a “superior race” - not only superior to whites, but to their neighbors.It is (alas) human nature.
Are black people the superior race?

Do white people feel superior to other people?
I’m gonna clue you in on a little secret. Just don’t tell anybody that I was the one who told you!The mass majority of normal, everyday white people don’t care. They just dont care. They don’t care if you are better than them. They don’t care if they are better than you. They just want to live their own lives, and continue on down the road. They have got their own job. Their own family. Their own friends. Their own hobbies. Their own life. That is what they are concerned with.If their boss is a black guy, all they care about is that he’s a good boss. If they work with an Asian person, all they care about is that he’s a good co-worker. If they stay at an Indian persons hotel, all they care about is that the sheets are clean, and there’s no cockroaches in the room.They don’t care about race, religion, ethnicity, any of that. So long as they are left alone about it.
