Hot take: non-white people are often racist

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 15 points 5 months ago (2 children)

"Often" is a bit too generalising for me. Non-white people can be racist, that's true, just as white people can. Any race has good and bad people.

Originally I wrote "can" but that sounded like it was giving permission to be racist. Nobody should be classifying individuals based on their race. Bigotry is always bad - just because you're in the minority doesn't excuse you from the standards we set for everyone.
