Why racism fails.
Behaviour has an intent. When you discriminate based on race, your intent is still to change things for the better.

The problem is that when you discriminate based on an attribute the other person can not change, like race, effectively you cement the problem. It's stuck.

If you discriminate based on something the other has the power to change, you help start the change.

A good general discriminator is behaviour. So start calling names to looters, politicians that use racism as a hand break and corrupt employees in the legal system.

Drop the race, people will notice from now that your goal is to keep and grow the problem.

Simple once you spot it right?!

Re: Why racism fails.
There is only one race - the human race. Caucasians, Africans, Asians, Indians, Arabs, and Jews are not different races. Rather, they are different ethnicities of the human race.

All human beings have the same physical characteristics with only minor variations.

All human beings are created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26-27).

God loved the world so much that He sent Jesus to lay down His life for us (John 3:16). The “world” obviously includes all ethnic groups.

In spirit, absolutely. In practice, there is vastly less discrimination based on ethnicity than on skin color. So call it sub-species or morphological lay distinct population groups is you will.

The average Jo/yRam/Sipho/Mohammed is lost on the nuances. And the meme that it's sinful seems to lack traction.

Early days, but it does seem as if the people I've made aware of the above concept have started to discriminate on variable characteristics.

Now if the GLP meme of *tard was more widely used, we could even make the approach user friendly. I mean who likes stealtards?
