We all know that racism is a bad thing and everyone should hate racists nowadays. Racism is bad, I agree that everyone is made equal and all that jazz but what do you guys think about non-serious racism, low level racist jokes, etc? I’m just asking this to find out what others’ views are on so-called “casual racism” as to be honest, a lot of us do it in our daily lives. We of course don’t mean any harm when we do joke around (usually with friends of a different ethnicity) but we do it for a smile and a few laughs.

Of course I’ll give you an example of what I feel is casual racism;

I’m sick of you all telling me jokes about how no black people have jobs.

Just yesterday I saw four black removal men hard at work over at my neighbour’s house. These black men were working so hard, in fact, they were using the window instead of the door to access rooms quickly, running back and forth to their van to speed up the removal and, most efficient of all, they were doing all this at three in the morning.

Obviously, no harm is meant at all by this mere joke. But it’s still classed as racist. What are your thoughts on this “casual racism”? Do you agree with me on this topic?
