    How do you propose to stop it though?

    Can’t just tell people ‘Stop it’ and expect that to work.

    I suspect education is the answer, that’s going to take some work though, and time.

    Setting good examples from the top down would be a start. And leaving religion out of it. And doing away with billionaires.

      Calling it out when you see or hear it happening.

      People aren’t born racist. They learn it, and a lot of the time it’s from environments where racism has gone unchallenged, making it “normal”.

    Well, yeah, it’s not wrong. But it’s not profound and you could replace racism with just about anything and it’d still work.
