What's worse, being a racist or being called a racist?
If it's the former, being called a racist is a valuable thing. It's somebody telling you that you have advertently or inadvertently acted in a manner that is prejudiced against an ethnic group in a way that perpetuates societal imbalances (racism). Now you get an opportunity to fix it.
Apologize, then stop doing what you were called out for. Now you'll neither be a racist or called one.
Great! Everybody wins.

- harryh 10y agoHave you ever called someone a racist or seen someone else be called a racist? How did they tend to react at an emotional level? Did that tend to make them more or less open to feedback? Have you found it to be a particularly effective way of getting people to change their behavior?
