the default position of all white people should be:

- Recognising that you're racist
- And that you don't necessarily know how you're racist
- And listening to people who are impacted by racism on the ways you do racist things
- And trying to change

@aurynn Omg this. I really love youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJA_jUddXvY62dhVThbeegLPpvQlR4CjF - it's not exactly on this topic, but it still fits. If people tell you that you did something racist, they don't imply that you are purposefully racist. But we were raised in a racist society and as much as we try, we will inherently do something racist in our life. And that's... not OK, but understandable.
What makes it OK is our behaviour after being called out on it. Think, apologize. Don't do it again.

Absolutely!

It’s easier to think of “racist” as a verb - something you do or don’t do. Like chewing with your mouth open- but much worse.

Thinking of “racist” as a personality trait is holding people back.
