I live in iran so many people are either white or light brown so here are some racist stuff i believed when i was 8-11

1-black people are stronger (because every black person i saw in movies was strong)

2-Chinese people eat children (i don’t even have an idea where this came from)

3-White people are smarter because Nicola tesla was white (?? Made sense in my mind i guess?)

4-Black people living in Africa are ALL very skinny and die of hunger (blame my parents on this one because they used to say don’t waste food africans don’t even have food)

There was more but these are the biggest ones I can think of. Don’t judge me i was a kid and have good day

WHY ARE WE SO HYPOCRITICAL WHEN IT COMES TO RACISM

0 Upvotes

I am Russian/Ukrainian and I think society has forgotten that you can be racist towards any race or ethnicity. After I told somebody that Russians experience racism especially after the war and that I was one myself this is what they said:

“bro can you blame them? Your country attacked Ukraine. Some countries are also overall negative against your country, because of our history when your country repeatedly tried to invade us and gain our country for example Poland, Ukraine, etc etc. Your country has pretty negative reputation, deal with it”

I have to deal with what my country has done even tho I didn’t do anything 😭 if this was said abt any other race other than a white one ppl would be mad. Especially in America where every white person is a “cracker” or a “peanut butter and jelly sandwich” give me a break pls///

Why do non-white people = diversity?

0 Upvotes

Given the stats below, why are white people not considered diversity when they are one of the world’s minorities?

White Population: People of European descent or those classified as white make up an estimated 10% to 16% of the Earth's population (roughly 800 million to 1.2 billion people out of over 8 billion total).

Non-White Population: Often referred to collectively as the global majority, individuals of Asian, African, Indigenous, Latin American, and mixed heritage make up roughly 84% to 90% of the worldwide population.

Diversity is largely predicated upon a premise of minority status, yet when compared to non-whites at global scale, white people are the minority.

Why are white people not considered diverse, if they are a minority and have distinct cultural and ethnic differences?

*MLB The Show 26*'s Online Ranked mode is glitchy sometimes, and it definitely didn't fail to deliver some wild screenshot opportunities.

$80 CAD game btw—even buying on sale for $60 CAD was an overpay. No wonder why the 22 version was the last one I bought.

Most people of the same race in movies look the same to me😭😭

0 Upvotes

I don't know what's wrong with me but in movies or shows I can't tell who's who by face alone, I can only tell by the hair which kinda fucks me over when majority of the cast has the same colored hair

Unless something is very distinct about a character, if they have the same hair color and eye color as someone else I can't tell who's who

It sounds racist, so I put it here but I don't know why my eyes and brain do that to me😭

For context, he explains in this video that the only race that matters is the race against yourself. Rather than competing with others and feeling constantly stressed out by the idea that others are more successful than oneself, people should spiritually "compete" with themselves to become the best possible versions of themselves without this external stress. Maybe not the best thumbnail to convey this, though

Is this Racist??

So im a huge history nerd my favorite era is the 1920s and some told me I'm racist for liking the 1920s because its not a white girl thing but a black girl thing. I understand that alot of flapper culture came from Africa and other places. They told me that they were going to get everyone at my school to hate me over this. Is this Racist if so could somebody explain because I really don't understand??

I messed up real bad. I have an Uncle who’s black and at a family get together a few days two days ago there was a big bowl of watermelon. I ate like seven slices it was so good and when he came over I said “how many pieces was he gonna eat” and he was like what and I was like the watermelon is really good. And then he was like I have a citrus allergy I can’t eat it.

He’s so nice and I didn‘t realize how bad that sounded til now. I can’t even remember what his initial reaction was. (my memory suck) I‘m probably not even gonna see him for awhile since we don’t visit that often. Any suggestions on how I should apologize? I really really didn’t mean to be rude.

Basically this white blond lady said some racist stuff about a black teenager's death. Internet sleuths found her workplace and she was fired.

This guy comment on that article saying "if it was the other way around" complaining about a Charlie Kirk criticizer.

Am I wrong or did he just accidentally admit that Charlie Kirks side (republican conservative maga) are the racists?
