We have all been raised in racist societies. We all have little racist worms in our brains. We owe it to ourselves to fight our internal racism as well as helping each other recognise when we are being bigots.

Arguing what you said isn’t racist is itself racist 99% of the time. If you think maybe what you said really wasn’t racist ask why it is racist don’t try to defend racism.

If someone starts giving excuses or justifications for why what they said wasn’t racist just say “The only correct response when someone tells you something you said was Racist is ‘Oh I’m sorry. I didn’t realize. I will try to watch out for that in the future. Thank you for helping me fight racism’”

If they keep arguing you just say “I guess you don’t wan’t to fight racism. You know what that makes you?”
