I sometimes wonder if I’m wrong about myself, maybe I am racist in some way but am blind to it. How would I even know?
My stance is that everyone is at least a little racist, in some way. Racism is such an essential part of society and culture, probably almost everywhere by now, that no one can avoid it entirely. However, we can try to recognize it in ourselves and other people and minimize it, and that’s what really makes the difference, the end goal being to eradicate racism entirely (also apply this to all kinds of -isms and -phobias you can think of).
Maybe there are people who have cleansed themselves entirely of racism. In my view, that’s comparable to achieving some sort of enlightened or transcendent state, which most of us can only aspire to.
