Just saw the post of some dude who said all Germans are racist because they don’t have black people.

People like this just make me cringe. I also know some people who say they will only date a specific ethnicity like only white or only Asian people and I think it’s very weird.

I wonder where this movement started where people overly obsess about this. Can’t we already just treat people for who they are/their personality and not judge them by their skin color and also not prefer some ethnicities over others?

    Many societies around the world actually are a bit racist. Anti-racism is moreso a thing that started and was invented. Humans are just naturally racist until they become better educated and realise it’s wrong.

      No they’re not.

      Like, I wrote an indepth explanation, you completely missed the details, and then posted a summary that’s completely wrong…

      There’s a big difference between xenophobia and racism. The entire concept of race is a relatively new invention.

        Probably depends how you define racism. Structured systemic racism is an invention.
