Do right-wing people know racism is wrong, or just not care about it?

Question

You really cannot tell whether they do know that or not. When confronted with evidence of their own racist statements, some right-wingers will double down on it and say it doesn't matter, or things of that sort. This suggests that they either don't know racism is wrong or they don't care. Others, however, will do almost anything they can to avoid admitting that their behavior is racist, and this suggests to me that they actually know that racism really is wrong. I'm not sure which is true. Please help me out here.

Neither.

They are traitors and turn coats. So they will "ally" when it's in their favour and betray when its too much for them.

But just like a thief cannot hide its nature for too long. So it is with these racist cretins in human skin.

They don't actually matter in the grand scheme of things, and that is what burns them the most. They see "others" being above them, and they will never reach that height no matter how big a fire or body pile they ever make.

They don´t believe that people of other races are fully human.

I don't think most people are racist. In the UK, having other races around is just the norm. Of course, you can see the humanity in everybody.

We have had an extreme policy of mass migration forced on the population, a population who do not want it, nor did they vote for it. There was no expectation of these people integrating. We welcomed them by diminishing our own culture and ourselves. Instead we have parallel societies that have formed, which is very dangerous for any country. White British is a de facto minority now, accounting for 60% in schools and 47% in nurseries.

The grooming gangs hardly helps matters, but illustrates my point perfectly. The authorities covered this up to not inflame community tensions.

However, I'd describe myself as more of a culturalist. I appreciate my own culture and heritage. I want to see that preserved. I want to see my homeland preserved. I don't want to go into the centre of the town that I work in, and literally, when my colleague and I looked around, the 20 people we saw, probably 17 were Muslim and 3 were white. Incidentally, a lot of them aren't even liberal Muslims. They were wearing a full face covering. These are not integrated people. This is not a healthy society.

So this is not a racial issue. It is more nuanced than that.

Somewhere in the middle. They’re comfortable with casual racism because it’s cultural, and it’s very familiar to them. They’re used to hearing racist ideas, or comments by friends and family, etc. —So, on one level, they do think it’s ok, and will not challenge it in their day to day life, and end up perpetuating it by not modeling a more evolved position in front of their children, or not speak out against it, etc. etc. effectively condoning it, and effectively passing that on to their kids, etc.
Yet on another level, they have some knowledge about historical racism, and know that it is basically unacceptable to some degree in the wider society. So I’d say they’re somewhere in the middle grey zone, to varying degrees.

Let's divide racism into two categories.

The first is race based purely on skin color or physical features. I think this is an extremely weak and indefensible ideology, because nobody chooses how they're born. In that sense, it's no different from bullying someone because of their appearance or height.

The second is what we might call cultural racism. This is a much more complex issue. Cultures are largely shaped by geography and by a society's historical experiences. At that point, different cultures may come into conflict, or it may not always be appropriate or practical for every culture to coexist in the same setting

i suspect most people care about protecting their environments ehich might include rscism thinking , more likely cultural thinking, religeous or national. I see lots of diff races in my church and many are right leaning so i think the question is off kilter. I see various races where i volunteer.

I suspect racism is just one mentality that runs through humanity aimed at security.

Yes its hurtful.

It's something like cursing too much or not combing your hair wearing ratty clothes. It makes little difference really. We wouldn't hear about it at all if it wasn't a threat to globalism. Oddly enough tje people talking about it all the time have racist views. Minorities aren't smart enough to get voter ID or anti Semetic ideas.

Conservatives don't give a flying fuck about racism. They're so messed up that they're trying to convince people they're the ones being discriminated against because they're Caucasian, and that there's no such thing as systemic racism in the US. Most of them in the south would bring back chattel slavery in a heartbeat if they could. LOL Biggest bunch of losers you've ever seen.

"Others, however, will do almost anything they can to avoid admitting that their behavior is racist"

Because other people think it's wrong.

Some surely don't think it's wrong, others I think are just sick of PC culture and will double down even more just to trigger people.

I'll say this. I think Right Wingers and Left Wingers have different definitions of what "racism" is.

If you’re not racist you’re stupid. You have to be incredibly dumb to not see that there are differences, on a group level and on average, between races. Denying that is denying reality. There are differences in looks, genetics, proness to health issues, physical abilities, iq, behavior, mentality etc. Just like there are natural differences between poodles, golden retrievers and pitbulls. They’re all dogs, sure, but there are differences between breeds. The same is true for humans. Now, this doesn’t mean it’s ok to treat others poorly, just like it’s not ok to treat a pitbull worse than a golden retriever either. But there are very obviously racial differences between human races.

MrChinaski · Answer

The term 'racism' may cover anything from assortative mating through to genocide. The words 'racism is wrong' are meaningless in isolation.
