Bot swarms celebrate as South Australia confirms it's 20% racist - Lemmy.World

Given how shitty humanity has historically been, I would be happy surprised if any large population isn’t at least 20% racist. It’s more a matter of how loud the racists think they can be without getting in trouble.
20% is way too low. Plenty of people aren’t outwardly racist, but they’re racist.
And on top of that, many people have racist tendencies they aren’t even aware of.
And if you add all of those together, that makes 100%
IMO unknowingly holding a bigoted opinion applies to everyone but that doesn’t make you a bad person in itself. Failing to correct those beliefs when challenged is what makes you a bad person.
