Racism is dead

I , Annees , will not and never have been racist .
Just to point things out , this is a serious update . I may not look like a stressing oh-so serious type of person but when it comes to this , it gets personal

Younger generations are definitely less racist but they either inherit bigotry from people they look up to or they foster it within their own peer groups. Tack on ignorance and bigotry, while perhaps not intentionally malicious, festers unchallenged. Younger types may not discriminate as much on the basis of skin colour, but you can bet your boots ethnicity, accents, religions, funny customs, etc, all still heavily skew perceptions and interaction. Especially in a fear-mongering society. Things have gotten a lot better than they were, but there's still a very long way to go.

I'm malay and I found it gives other people the permission to talk about their hatred in petty ways. Like just because I'm malay I'm not going to be offended that you called me a " minah kepoh " since I am not one and it just sounds , slutty .

So the point is , it's simple
RACISM IS DEAD .
