I remember hearing a quote along the lines of “why are white supremacists always the least supreme whites?” It has stuck with me. When you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel, I guess racism allows you to feel superior to something. Because telling yourself “at least I’m not black” is likely easier for some people than accepting that they’re a loser with no aspirations, no future, no fame, no money, etc… At least racism gives them some sort of outlet.
Not defending racism, but it’s interesting to think about how it starts in individuals, because that’s ultimately where you need to target your efforts to stamp it out.
