When you hang out with your white friends at college and whatever and they think you're white why do a lot of them hate on one racial group The blacks they always talk about them but would except a dark skinned non-black over a high yellow black or a biracial person (black+white) why ?

It's called a leading question. First you should ask if that occurs in the first place before you ask why.

Most racists I encountered wouldn't accept Dravidians anymore thna they would accept a mixed Afro-European.

Then why do they except most non-blacks over blacks and hate them (blacks) only.

Again, you are assuming they do. Some places do accept Indians more. Less cultural baggage. No prior history. Many places will accept Caribbeans and Africans a lot quicker than they will accept African Americans.

This wasn't my experience during my undergraduate years. I found that people generally accepted me as they found me. There were some folks who questioned my ethnic background but for the most part, I got along with just about everyone. I was a varsity athlete and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in science. I encounted all sorts of individuals from many backgrounds who were always more interested in what I had to say rather than what I looked like. I have to also say that I am pretty immune to "put downs" by other folks and always resisted using terms like "high yellow" to describe other people.
