"a program to combat racism" synonyms: racial discrimination, racialism, racial prejudice, xenophobia, chauvinism, bigotry, casteism "Aborigines are the main victims of racism in Australia" Racism. Itās such a common insult to through at people now days. But is everyone that doesnāt agree with a certain candidate, movement, or whatever really racist? The answer to that is: NO. Just because someone does not date someone with a different skin color does not mean they are racist. Itās a damn preference. I myself will not date someone that is of a different ethnicity. And that has nothing to do with hate. I also donāt support the BLM movement solely because I see firsthand all the hate and destruction that is involved with that group. I constantly see on social media and on the streets black people targeting white people just because they are white. And not to sound one-sided, I see white people doing it as well. Itās not right on either side and all participants disgust me. I voted for Trump, does not mean Iām racist. Does not mean all Trump Supporters are racist either. I have black, Hispanic, European, Asia, whatever, friends. I have black family members. Yet I am still called racist because of my skin color. People are so quick to call racism in an argument, and all that does is start more racism. Racism is not born, itās taught. And the first place to clear that up is in the home. Thatās all Iām gonna say on this matter.
