Is it wrong to be racist?

[awein999]

We shouldn't ask "is it wrong to be racist", we should ask what is racism? Is it avoidable? Where does it come from? How do we deal with it?

Racism is the judgment of other people on their race, usually viewing one race as superior to another. No it's unavoidable. It is easy for an individual person to say "I'm not racist" but there are always societal trends that do discriminate against certain races and we are racist on a subconscious level at the very least. Trying to stop racism is a form of racism in itself because we are self-conscious towards certain groups of people, or in other words we are still being racist. (Also it often leads to reverse discrimination).

Racism is deeply rooted in our ancestry. It comes from the human mind as a way for people to say they are better or different from one another.
The only way for racism to stop is for everyone to realize that racism doesn't make sense, that it doesn't physically exist and that it is all a notion perceived in the human mind. Unfortunately this is not happening, not even close because our brains have evolved to be "racist". We can deal with racism by acknowledging it is there and coming to terms with our differences.


I apologize if I'm being redundant or repetitive with what other people have said, I'm not going to review 100 posts, I answered the question without looking at most of them.
