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?

    Even if we all had the exact same skin tone there woulda still be racists. They would just move onto hair color or eye color or nose width. Some people just have hate in their hearts and they will use any physical differences to lump people together.

    Personally I’m with Morgan Freeman on the topic. Just stop talking about it. Stop talking about race. We are all humans. We all got struggles. Let’s all get along as humans and work together.

      Being skeptical of people looking different from you used to serve a purpose in our history. It no longer does but the bias can still be found in our biology. It’s not that some “just are hateful people” - it’s that they’re human.

        The follow up question then is, how do we deal with that as a species? If we assume that humans have tribalistic tendencies, I don’t want to say inherent, but, deeply rooted? Can education and external pressure make it go away? Can we direct it into something else? It seems like sports teams with their fans is an outlet at least preferable to war, for example.
