Can anyone be non-racist?

[wimp]

Half serious question here.

[Samof94]

That’s impossible

[dead0man]

it would be very hard to live a full, long life and never have a racist(ish) thought.

Considering the definition of racism is "prejudice + power OR doing anything that pisses off Woke Twitter" it's really really hard because they get pissed off by so many things.

Sufficiently mentally incapacitated people.

The vast majority of people are probably guilty of at least mild racism at some point or another.  Everyone has thoughts they shouldn’t have.

I'm a believer in "everyone's a little bit racist", like most other posters in this thread. The problem is that this insight can be interpreted as either a call to humility and circumspection or a call to not giving a sh**t, and too many people interpret it as the latter.

I fully embrace the latter.

Maybe, but the vast majority of the population is racist, whether only slightly or all the time, or unconsiously/subconsiously or fully consciously. Still, I can imagine there are a few totally non-racist people, though very few and not fully guaranteed. Hard question...but I will say yes. Depends on what you call racist: most people aren't openly or consciously racist, and if your definition of racist is KKK members or white supremacists, or very racist people, then the ansswer to the question is a resounding 'yes,' but if racist means being totally, completely un-racist and unbiased to any racial or demographic group, then the answer is still likely 'yes,' though there's a plausible case for the answer 'no.'
