I grew up a racist. Did I know I was? Nope, but that is how systemic racism works. Many of the "funniest" jokes I heard (& too often repeated) I now know were racist af. Having an open❤️& mind, traveling, really EXPERIENCING local cultures, & listening can cure your inner shitbag.
@EdgeOErin And all white people benefit from racism even if they don't want to. It'll take us to fix this and being aware of our own biases (conscious and unconscious) are the only way that happens.

@fibonacci Absolutely, April. As it happens, I have Metis blood, and am very proud of it.
@EdgeOErin Well to be fair, white isn't a race. It's interesting to do dna analysis and find out what our ancestry is though and it can be helpful in understanding our past.
