With my recent post I was trying to ask if there are other people like me who also feel that people seem to focus more and more on skin color and ethnicity in an unhealthy and obsessive way and I thought I’d find some people agreeing with me who also feel uncomfortable and stressed out by this.
But instead the overwhelming response was people trying to justify racism instead of agreeing that it’s a bad thing and needs to end. As if they were trying to use every possible argument to bash on me and justify racism.
Why could it be the case that so many people here on Lemmy support racism? In my opinion there is no reason to discriminate someone based on their looks PERIOD!

Skimmed through it, OP seems to say that acknowledging the way societies treat different ethnicities is racist.
That’s literally not at all what I meant. My post itself was acknowledging it (this post as well) and I was saying we need to end it to put people in boxes and treat them in this toxic/inequal way based on their skin or ethnicity! I’m saying people are racist for being racist, not for acknowledging that racism exist (cause with that logic I would be racist myself for acknowledging that racism exist). It’s a simple logic no matter how much you try to twist my words.
I’ll let people judge

Did this person for real see the cartoon with the fence and the boxes and keep arguing?
Yes that’s what they say and not me. I’m saying we need to stop racism and not trying to justify it!
You should start judging people by their face value and not by what other people say
