You don't understand because you don't take time to sit down and actually listen to the person.
IMO racism mostly stems from fear and plain ignorance, but that is easily cured if someone just takes a moment to listen, understand and then with gentle attempts to counter their fears or lack of understanding.
So far I have not failed once to make people more understanding and accepting of diversity and equality, and that just by taking a moment with them.

- RandomBacon 8y agoSome people feel like they need to have adversaries, enemies, or inferiors. Some desperate people are looking for a social group, any group, to fit in with. Unfortunately those people sometimes choose the easy/wrong people or groups to fulfill their desires. It's not always ignorance or fear, it can be a psychological need for connections or purpose that overrides common sense.
