I’m starting to become concerned that I’m secretly a racist. My father was active in far-right-wing organisations that were openly racist, pro-eugenics and white-supremacist, and I heard a lot of his political views growing up. We argued about it once I’d gotten older and I’ve always tried to treat everyone equally, regardless of their skin colour/origin/gender, but I’ve observed that I’ve never had a friend who wasn’t a white European/North American. Same for s***** interest- I’m bisexual and like men/women of all ages, but again, only white Europeans/North Americans; people of other races just seem alien somehow. My actions have never been racist, but I’m starting to think that my thoughts are.

I don’t know about that.. I mean. I was raised by my parents who were sorta racist themselves.. I was scolded not to play with black children and told to avoid anyone who wasn’t catholic, ESPECIALLY christians. I didn’t really know why, and I didn’t really ask. But as I got older I realized my folks were being nasty and me myself, I didn’t grow that way but what i’m saying is.. Unless you’re like ‘trying to be racist’, I don’t think you can unintentionally be racist. I mean, I don’t have many friends AT ALL regardless of color yet I don’t think i’m racist towards any race/color. If anything i’d be very happy to have friends of different ethnicity and I look forward to the day that I do! But eh, i’m just saying, don’t feel bad. You’re not racist unless you act on it. So what if you only have white friends? Maybe that’s just who you’re most comfortable with at the moment and haven’t had the chance to make a friend of a different race. No worries.
Or maybe you are a ni**er lover?
