The racism paradox.

Racism is defined as 'the belief that some races of people are better than others'

So if one call a group of people racist, that's racism.

Calling a race as racist is actually racist. Because you think that you are better (not being a racist). Because you think that your race is better (not racist)

Example: If I call the Jews as racist, that's mean I think that my race is better than the Jews... because we are not as racist as the Jews.

Last Saturday, I came across a comment on Facebook.

"I hope that our [people from a neighbouring state] supporters are not as racist and rude as [people from my state]"

That's racist. That person thinks that her people are more civilized and less racist from us.

A paradox. Calling other race as racist doesn't make one not racist. Calling other race racist makes one racist too.

However, one is not racist if one thinks that his/her own race is racist.

Example, An Arab calling the Arabs racist is not racist. Because he/she is an Arab.

And like it or not, we are all racist. What matters is how racist are you? Less racist? More racist?

Since we are all racist, calling other people racist is akin to the pot calling the kettle black... i.e hypocrite.

But we are just mere mortal. Not a perfect being. So for the time being, let's try to be less racist, and open up our mind.

p/s It's my bestie who makes me ponder about this. Credits to her.
