36. I grew up and live in an area repleat with Catholics and they are almost all racists.

I have never met a Catholic who was not a racist and a bigot. I often get attacked by Catholics for being an Atheist or for being an Obama supporter. My Italian clients think the "N" word describes everyone they think is shiftless or lazy. These are college educated, rich and 3rd generation Americans. They have no excuse except this is what they learned in their predominantly white catholic schools.
