“Racism” is just a word. For me, I would call it dislike. I believe people may dislike others because of their past experiences, how they were raised, or simply because they want to make someone feel bad for doing better in life.
You can’t control how someone feels about you. You can only walk away, laugh it off, or mind your own business. If someone’s opinion or feelings can break your spirit, then that’s something you need to work on.
It’s good to encourage people not to carry past bitterness onto others, but you can’t control that. Focus on the things you can control.
One real question. Is racism really a thing as we see on the media?
