In reply to the discussion: Just witnessed an act of racism [View all]lunatica
(53,410 posts)the small little incident is like a wife getting pushed around a little by her husband. It only becomes a big incident when he beats the living daylights out of her later. It all starts with the small little insignificant actions. Which is when people should be taught that this tiny little insignificant action is only hiding a world of putrid racism.
Ask your friends when do they think an action is actually racist. How far are they willing to allow racists go before they think it's unacceptable. And ask them if they would think it's so trivial if it happened to them and they found out about it.
You don't even have to be confrontational about it. draw them into a conversation. Tell them what you think is racist. Start a great conversation. This is what we all need to do. Engage your friends and family and go from there.
