Here's the setup: I'm going to use the "list of icks" as a demonstration. https://thesophian.com/the-ultimate-list-of-icks/
You don't even have to read the article at the link, although it's not an extensive article. Just skim through it, and you'll see that her list of icks (things that men do or don't do that women think are deal breakers) is 53 items long.
There is a compilation list that's basically a listing of every woman who's ever been asked "what is your biggest 'ick' in a man?" So they take the author's list (for example), and compile all of those 53 items into a running list of all the other women's icks, not allowing duplication, the list is now 630-something icks long. Earlier this year, it was hovering around 500-plus icks.
Most men already don't know what the hell women really want, but to see a list of icks that long is beyond daunting. There's basically no way to please a woman, any woman, when so many things make them go "Ew! Hell no!"
In the same way, at least in my mind - because this is how my brain works - even though no one has COMPILED a list of Things That are Racist, EVERYTHING IS RACIST.
The sky, the sun, water, math, camping, mountain climbing, articulation, education, getting good grades, reading...literally every person, place, thing, experience, process, procedure, custom...anything a person can conceive, is racist.
Basically, there is not a single thing that any person can say, do, think, act (or not) that isn't racist. Our very existence is racist.
It's not enough to not be racist; one must be anti-racist, whatever the f*ck that means. And even then, by virtue of the color of one's skin, one is still racist. I think it was Martin Luther King Jr. who said that.
Or not.
So, we might as well be racist.
And by the way, as Ricky Gervais pointed out, recently, we white folk want our culturally-appropriated word "n*gger" back. We invented the word; give it back.
