True there are a lot of stupid people out there but if I were to say something horrifically racist in pretty much any company I can be fairly confident I would be told exactly where to shove it though
Yes racism just corrects itself. That’s why there’s famously no racism happening anywhere
Racism has dramatically reduced in recent years, used to be people would make racist comments in casual conversation and nobody would care
The vast, vast majority of racism is not done through casual conversation. I hope you understand that.
True. That definitely can't stop it influencing people's decisions at least in the short term
I'd still like to think in the long term younger generations are less racist and would replace older ones stuck in their ways that currently hold all the power
