Is it possible for someone to be half-racist?

[Anonymous]

A racist is supposed to be a person who has the belief that all people who belong to a specific race are not as good, intelligent, moral, etc.

However, there are people who believe that although not all people who belong to a specific race are, let's say, bad, dumb, immoral and so, a significant number of them do.

Examples:

Black men who hate black women.

Someone who hates poor black people or Southern white people.

White men who look down on white women.

Can we say they're half racist?

This cartoon was made by a white guy who likes poking fun at white women

No, that's idiotic as hell. You either HATE a certain race of people and see them as inferior, or you don't. I am so sick of the retarded Current Year BS of trying to make everything about bigotry and instaphobia. Someone can hate their own race and that still makes them racist. But usually, 95% of the time when someone uses the word "racist" or "racism," they're just an asshole trying to virtue signal because they literally have no other personality traits than pretending to be a "non racist" (and yes, it is pretending, because they're very quickly be racist to white men or bigoted to any 'majority' class out there).

If someone says "racism" nowadays, my immediate reaction is to stop taking them seriously. Of course, there is that 5% of the time people are being legitimately racist to non-whites; but it's rare.

That comic is kinda funny though, cause it's subverting expectations and I look at it as a joke. If the creator actually is anti-white, then that's another thing, but I think they're just joking.

How is a "Black" man who hates "Black" women half-racist? That's full racist. Find one "Black" man who somehow. . . hates "Black" women but likes "Black" men. That doesn't make any sense. The fact is, the guys I have met, see themselves as "exceptions". The "Black" race has failed. . . but they are the exceptional "Black" person who is equal to "White" people.

So equality for themselves. . . but no one else.

I can't speak to experiences outside of my community. I don't fully understand the issues.

There are varying degrees of racism from a tad biased right up to fully blown gag racist

I mean.. There is no such thing as "half racist". You could argue that some racists are much more malicious than others but it does not change the fact that they are racists.

Also "Race" does not exist within humanity so anytime you make a racial distinction such as "Black man" or whatever, that is inherently racist but more importantly. Objectively incorrect.

I mean... I'm sure it is. I think most people probably fall into that category. A half-racist would just be someone who has a generally negative opinion of someone based upon their ethnicity, but doesn't necessarily have animosity towards them.

I’m not racist but I don’t like diverse nations.

Let white live with whites and blacks live with black etc..

I don’t like people who are different.

but I don’t think of them as less or anything.

I just don’t follow their idology, culture and behavior.

Nope, it's like someone putting their dick in your beer, and then saying "Just don't drink from that side, the rest is all good!"

You clearly don't understand the joke in the cartoon or the nature of racism

[OddBeMe]

I think you could be more covertly or “narrowly” racist. Not Hitlerian, in thinking an entire ethnicity or skin color can to die, but just a more casual cross the street when the hoody kid walks by.

“I’m watching you, boy!”

[AngryCarl]

Sure, you can be as racist or non-racist as you want to be. You can discriminate against everyone, or just a small selection. Life is full of choices. You don't have to wear a white sheet with a pointy hood to be a racist.

Hating your own race is more self-hatred than half-racist, though it type of racism.

[NathanDavis]

this is wholly stupid to think...

not just half stupid, lol

[User3191989]

lol. no
And for those who think "reverse racism" is a thing. Just remember, the fraction 3/5. Always remember that fraction. POC's will know what I'm referring to

[KostasKouvalis]

I'm definitely half racist then, especially against minority MEN

[Cubus]

There's nothing untrue in saying that a part of a specific group of people is dumb

[HippieVeganJewslim]

They ain’t racist, nor half-racist, but still biased and prejudiced.

[Anonymous]

I believe that some can hold racist thoughts/views unintentionally. It doesn't necessarily make them a hateful person, just ignorant.

[SaoirseS]

Isn’t that like a woman being “half pregnant “?

[Msputiton]

Racist is racist.

[ChefPapiChulo]

are you half stupid?

[Anonymous]

No, a racist is a racist.
