It's really very sad and very disturbing that lots of people here will blindly accept a 'racist phase' as something that everyone does because it really, really shouldn't be and frankly speaks to how deeply fucked we are as a species.

But hey.

Yes. I've seen so many people (not here, just in general) get really pissed off when someone calls out their racism because they're like "I'm just saying what we're all thinking!" and like...no, all of us DO NOT think those things.

I think racists just find it really hard to believe that everyone else is not racist, too.

I don't think people should be handwaving it or acting like it's something to be proud of, it's a very regrettable and disturbing thing, but it's a good thing IMO if someone came from a place of ignorance to a place of respect. I certainly wouldn't prefer that people stayed bigoted. It's cool when people question their beliefs and are willing to admit they were wrong.

Dunno, I feel the opposite. I'm glad it's a phase and I'm glad there's proof that so many people, even if their parents and communities taught them all the wrong things when they were younger, got over it and changed. It proves that bigotry is taught and not inherent and that acceptance can also be taught and take hold even afterward.

Also: nobody is saying everyone had a racist phase? Someone using bigoted language or once having been prejudiced or biased against something is not necessarily racial in nature.
