No that’s the exact wrong thing to do! Instead of ignoring it or trying to justify racism we need to STOP it and start tackling it by the root problem. There is no problem with different cultures and people cause that is what makes us so special in my opinion. But to devalue or discriminate someone solely based on their skin and make such a big thing about it is just wrong in my opinion. If you guys don’t see this very simple logic then I’m lost for ideas
No matter how many excuses you will find to justify racism it’s just not morally acceptable. As long as we won’t stop making such a big thing out of what peoples skin color or ethnicity is we will never get rid of it.
The fact that people get discriminated and unfairly treated because they have dark or bright skin is a shame and it NEEDS to stop now instead of trying to justify why it is the case and keep on doing it.
I love multiculturalism because we people naturally have different cultures. But to obsessively base everything on skin color like you people on Lemmy is just weird and racist af!

Giving up on changing certainly also isn’t the solution. We always need to stay optimistic and try our best to better ourself
This reminds me of this interview of Elon Musk and Don Lemmon where I think Elon is hitting the nail on the head. And the irony being Elon is more African American than Don Lemon since Elon actually is African and Don just is American.
True, many aspects about humans are really sad
Yea and that’s the point I’m trying to make that this racism makes me feel bad. I thought I find some people that are also fed up with it like me
I just wanted to know if other people also feel uncomfortable about this like me
Great that someone can relate and I’m not the only one thinking this!
Imo that’s why we need to stop doing it. Maybe it’s too hard to do idk but it makes me feel uncomfortable when people see me or others as a color.
Exactly what I’m thinking. Imo this whole concept of “white” and “black” people doesn’t make any sense and is just an excuse for racism and hate
Yes I agree. But why can’t we stop calling people “white people” in the first place? Why can’t we just acknowledge each other as people/human beings?
That’s the exact point I was trying to make. My skin doesn’t change me as a person but peoples judgement of my skin does. If we wouldn’t judge people based on that we wouldn’t divide our self in this toxic way
Why would you judge it as something good to separate people based on how their skin looks like?
There isn’t such thing as “one color” with human skin. We all have different shades and tones by nature. People naturally look different. Your skin even changes depending how much you’re in the sun and it doesn’t make them a different person. It’s the same with eye and hair color. Imo that’s what makes us humans beautiful that we look different and don’t all look the same. This is really not hard to see
See that’s literally what I mean what upsets me. It doesn’t matter what my skin looks like, it changes nothing about me as a person. There isn’t even “white” or “black” skin. I’ve never seen people with actual white or black skin. I would say our skin is more pinkish/brown and changes in brightness/tones if anything. But why would you even make a thing about it? It seems weird and isn’t relevant
You are not different by your skin color its human made. This idea is very outdated and not supported by any scientific research. There is one human race which is called Homo sapiens sapiens. Thinking someone is different because of their skin is human made and the definition of racism.
