Why do people think racism works like noise cancelling?

If you're racist the "other way", it doesn't cancel out the initial racism, it just creates more racism.

Oh for sure, heartily agree. Didnt mean anything akin to 'shut up and take it.

Those 'in power' should absolutely lead by example (and there's bound to be plenty of time before the victims can actually pull back from 'defence mode' - now I'm starting to think of it in the same context as abusive relationships, however). Sorry, my analogies are all over the place!
