Someone actively working to define and dismantle racism.
"What's the problem with being 'not racist'? It is a claim that signifies neutrality: 'I am not a racist but neither am I aggressively against racism.' But there is no neutrality in the racism struggle.
The opposite of 'racist' isn't 'not racist'. It is 'antiracist'.
What's the difference? One endorses either the idea of a racial hierarchy as a racist, or racial equality as an antiracist. One either believes the problems are rooted in groups of people, as a racist, or locates the roots of problems in power and policies, as an antiracist. One either allows racial inequities to persevere, as a racist, or confronts racial inequalities, as an antiracist.
There is no in-between safe space of 'not racist'. The claim of 'not racist' neutrality is a mask for racism." - Ibram X Kendi
If you have read this definition and are now confronted with the fact that you might be racist, it's okay. I was there with you only months ago. What's not okay is to have this realization and to neglect the work.
Your past does not define your future. Pick up a copy of Kendi's book "How To Be An Antiracist" and start doing this important work. I'm right there with you.

Someone who sees racism when it's not there and thinks racism is deeply ingrained and in every facet of culture (even when it's not). These are the people who automatically think every white person is racist, and that white people must be punished simply for being white. Anti-racists actively are pushing for more non-white people to enter predominantly white countries (both legally and illegally), including North America and Europe so that whites will become a minority and thus more easily discriminated against. In short, an anti-racist is a person who is racist against white people and wants to destroy western civilization.
Person 1: After the George Floyd incident, I am a devout anti-racist!! That cop who killed him should be hung!
Person 2: Did you know that George Floyd was a criminal who was breaking the law who then resisted arrest? Did you know had 3x the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system? In the leaked full videos that the media didn't show, he was saying "I can't breathe" even before the cops laid a finger on him. Furthermore, did you know that in the autopsy report, there was no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation? Did it ever occur to you that the media was grasping at straws to try to fabricate a "racist" incident before the 2020 election to try to get black people out to vote?
Person 3: George Floyd was a hero you racist, sexist, misogynistic pig!!!!!
