Types of Racists

Racism and xenophobia are bad. I have witnessed both of them and they are not fun. I look totally white but I have a dose of Native Alaskan tucked in there and I don't dare tell certain people because of how they would treat me. Whilst racism has totally improved in the last while, certain elements of it have grown and new ones have been born. I will commentate on the different types I have observed, please add any others.

1. Simon Legree

This is the KKK, hater, fully fledged weirdo whose life seems to revolve around bashing people who have different skin to them. Honestly, what did they do to you? It can not be any worse than what you are doing. Luckily, this kind of person is rare and most of us are not going to come across one but it is still great to get into perspective what this type of person actually is. Yes, you got the white supremists, but you have also got a lot of black people with a chip on their shoulder. I am not dissing on rastafarians, and I know that they have changed some of their beliefs and I respect what people choose to believe as long as they don't go out hurting people, but they have some old thoughts about black people making whites their slaves someday. If you are rastafarian and do not believe this and I know there are white rastas, I am sorry, I am not pointing at all of you but you can not deny that white hating rastas exist and the practice is religiously observed.

This kind of racism is the height of ignorance and they have probably got some really sad stories from their past of slavery, being taught that different skin colour is bad, etc. I advise you just stay away from these ones and pray they don't have anything to do with you.

2. Mr/Ms White Wannabe

This one is really sad, they turn feelings of racism inwards toward themselves. They think that white people are better than them, no matter how bad they are. I have seen Indian commercials that use white people to make it seem more glamorous and it is just sad. These are the south east Asian women that hook up with that gross old man next door because he is white and therefore God. These people need to get some self-esteem.

If you know someone like this, please be kind to them and show an interest in their culture. Encourage your friends to treat them nicely. Beware of the ones that think all of a sudden that they are cool and special above everyone else in their race because white people associate with them so they treat the other people of their race like scum. I have heard terrible stories about this. Please be aware.

3. Monarch of Closemindedness

This is the numero uno type you see. This is the one that chooses staff by their skin colour, does not let their kids have multi-ethnic friends, refers to all Muslims as terrorists, etc. These guys are annoying. I don't really have to say anymore, they are just a pale version of number 1.

These ones come from that tiny little town were they have not moved around for years and all their family have the same views going back. They see people of different skin as uncouth aliens. There are also cases where maybe the person was open minded but had some bad experiences with a certain ethnic group. This can be understandable, people do like to generalise. If you think the person may have had bad experiences, go out of your way to be kind. All you will be doing is proving them wrong and giving your race good press. If they don't respond, then they are just a close-minded butthead and please don't be just as annoying by shoving yourself down their throat. They are close minded, don't generalise racists...

4. The Prankster

This guy is not racist, just a bit disrespectful and they come in all colours. This is that white girl with all the black boyfriends that calls them her "little ni****s" but she loves them to death. These guys do many other things, even pretending to be white online and saying racist things to their own as a joke. To be honest, I can not blame them. There are so many people who are quick to judge and if you look at them funny, they throw all the toys out of the pram and accuse you of murder. Some people have a kind of sick sense of humour and find this hilarious. I have a Filipino cousin that took an African girl to McD's and asked for a 20 piece box of chicken McN*****s knowing she was seriously into Black Lives Matter and all that. Boy did she slug him.

Please don't be this person, there are a lot of hurt and mixed up people out there who are insecure and get worried. True, they can be over the top but this is not a nice thing to do and you could turn them into a number 3.

If you come across one of these, please have a sense of humour, they usually don't mean any harm even if their tactics are very heavy handed. (PS, sorry for the title photo)

5. The Family Tree Security

This one is somebody who has multi-ethnic friends but does not want multi-ethnic family. True, you should expect your offspring to marry the best person for them which includes understanding each other and if someone comes from a country where people are of a different ethnic group they need to make sure they culturally understand each other and work. They need to make sure they feel the same way about them as they would of their own race because otherwise that is not fair. But this security person thinks interracial marriage is a sin. They can not see their son is totally gaga over this Mexican and would do anything for her and the feeling is mutual.

If you are in a situation with one of these, I feel sorry for you and hopefully everything will turn out well and your family member will come around.

6. The Descender

This is a mildly racist person who has bad self-esteem so they hang around other races because they think that is all they are good for. This person is the girl who married an Indian because her white boyfriend left her, the guy whose peers make him feel bad so he hangs with the natives. This one is sad. It is sad they feel like that about themselves and sad they see the others like that and are acting all false. Hold these ones at arms-length and don't entertain them.

7. The Rebel

Someone who does what a descender does whether they are or aren't racist just to spite their parents. You definitely have a friend like this.

8. The "Racist"

Someone who has been called a racist by an over sensitive person even though they are not. You guys need to stop making these and figure out what a real racist is.
