Then, oh, I dunno, maybe don't base your identity on a group who claims as one of their core value something abhorrent like racism? 🤷♂️
I totally agree, but let’s not ignore that a lot of children are raised by their parents to think that way. It takes a LOT of self introspection to throw off your family’s culture.
I know because it was very difficult to leave the religion I grew up in, even though I always really knew that it was wrong deep down.
