When ANYONE holds
someone else back from doing what they want to do or being who they want to be specifically because of the color of their skin or their racial affiliation.
Note: The actions in
question do not matter. This applies to anyone of any race and applies even within ones own race. If you do this, nothing excludes your actions or opinion from being racist because racism is
all about your reason which you chose to base on race. Racism won't go away as long as people continue to act or speak based on these reasons.
Man 1: "I've noticed
mixed race couples getting odd looks from
others within their own race. Is that considered a type of racism?"
Man 2: "Despite what others will say, yes it is. If the only reason that couple is getting glared at or treated negatively is due to the color of their skin, it's racism even if it comes from their own race."
Man 1: "Didn't their anscestors fight for their freedoms so they could use it?"
Man 2: "Yes, but
unfortunately some don't see it that way and instead of mixing with others like America was meant for, they separate themselves from the people they fought to be equals with in the first place out of vengeful spite"
Man 1: "...That's actually kinda sad for the ones trying to make actual use of their race's progress and be respected for who they want to become instead of grieving over who they used to be. I din't know Racism could evolve like that. It's almost viral."
Man 2: "Yeah it sucks, and people on both sides will
weaponize it for their own means. But it won't go away until people stop using it to explain every bad thing that happen to them."
