>I never even gave a second thought to making fun of people of other races. You shouldn't make racist jokes because you shouldn't needlessly hurt or offend the people around you. That isn't quite the same as being racist (although depending on the intention it could be). Racist means hating someone based on their ethnicity or skin color. It isn't quite the same. >I suspect that had I not been exposed to other races, I would have turned those jokes into actual beliefs. This is such a strange and cynical view. Are you sure you want to make the argument that you would have been a racist in America in 2018 had you continued to live in your neighborhood??
