We are all racist to a certain extent.
I had a conversation with a friend about racism. She was saying how she is so accepting of all types and doesn’t judge anyone based on their skin color. I then asked her the following: If were walking alone at night, and there were only 2 streets to get you home, which one would you take? The narrow street that had a group of ex: Middle Eastern, African American, etc.. teens hanging out? Or the other narrow street that had a group of Caucasian teens hanging out? I wont mention her answer, but she understood what i meant about racism.
Its interesting, I used to judge a certain sect of Jews and say that all of them are apikorsim, based on an incident that happened in my neighborhood at that time. But then i got to know some people and found out later they were a part of this sect. It opened my eyes and made me realize that most of this sect is not like this. Its just a small group of them that make a bad name for this whole sect.
