Ridiculous, isn't it? And, racism is hardly exclusive to white people.
It's been known and talked about for so long by all the sages, gurus, spiritual luminaries, that we're spiritual beings having human experiences, not the other way around - that these bodies in which our spirits reside are nothing more than biological space suits.
Racism says, I'm better than you are because my space suit is a different color than yours. What could be more absurd?

@PhoenixPhail
Racism is about selective distrust and diminishment when there is no other reason besides race
Unfortunately the word has been politically weaponized.
White people are racist, especially white men.
Corporations are evil,
Rich people don't pay their share of taxes and cheat poor people of their due,
Pharmaceutical companies are ...
Insurance companies are ...
Men are ...
Women are ...
ICE agents are ...
And the only GOOD people left after going through the above are ...
Socialist and Communist who only care about treating everyone equally and the common good :)

@PhoenixPhail I'm afraid I can't go with that whole 'spiritual beings' thing at all... There's no evidence supporting it at all.
Bascialy, racism is just a shitty thing even though we are just purely biological soulless creatures.

@Quizzical Actually, there's a great deal of evidence.
I'm sorry you think we are just purely biological soulless creatures. Do you have any feelings about that, at all, or does it just register intellectually?

@PhoenixPhail Well, people have been searching for the soul for a great many years, and not once have we found a glimmer. We can look down way beyond the cellular level, and still there is nothing. The closest we have ever been to the infinite is when we were stardust.
It's purely intellectual. This is all there is, whether I have feelings about it one way or the other is honestly completely immaterial, facts and reality don't care about feelings. They just ARE.
I personally put 'spirituality' in the same box as religion, Reiki, crystal healing, Prana, clairvoyance, ghosts, goblins, and things that go bump in the night. Just fantasy, and pretty harmless until people actually start believing in them.

@Quizzical Okay. Being so committed to your beliefs on the subject, I don't think it likely you would care to see what I would consider to be evidence. But if you ever get a wild hair, you might take a look at this. And believe me, I am in no way proselytizing or trying to convince you of anything. That's the Fundamentalist Christian's game (among other's), and I hate it.

@PhoenixPhail ......and yet India is the most racist nation on earth, so I guess gurus, bodhisatvas, and swami's etc don't change much. Gandhi was extremely racist towards "wogs". He considered them vastly inferior.
