What?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

racism /rā′sĭz″əm/

noun

  1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
  2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
  3. The belief that each race has distinct and intrinsic attributes.

I know it's just a dumb meme but how do you think racism starts? My experience is it tends to begin as "just a joke" until it's normalised enough that someone feels comfortable enough to take off the mask and either encourage or perform discrimination and/or violence.

Why tolerate white racism when we don't tolerate any other kinds?

I see how it could somewhat fit the third definition if you craned your neck but I don't really think it applies.

(I'll see if I'm able to expand on it later)
