Racist slurs are being hauled at people who have defied the odds and have risen from among the "elite" eligible candidates. Some people vent out their frustration while others by the fear of law decide to condemn it (there are always the third kind of people like me). So Racism was declared to be a blot on humanity.
Lets take a quick tour of history and popular science to dig deep on what racism is actually like.
We have a history that dates back to lets say may be 10,000 B.C. In that span of 12,000 years we have a recorded and interpreted history of 2000 years. We have seen the birth of the Christianity, the Islam, the Crusades, the colonial period and finally the modern era. Unluckily the white skinned people(i am being a racist here) were more adaptable to changes while the "underprivileged" decided to stay rigid and follow the path that their ancestors had jotted down for them. Half the world was colonized and the other half was explained that they were being colonized. So the dominance of the white skinned race over the world, marks the birth of racism.
(Present Scenario)
Suddenly the white people decided that it was "bad" to call someone black or brown. The United Nations (which was formed by the white people) backed it up too. In the meantime, the colored people were beginning to get independence (and of course busy making kids) they realized that it was bad to call them black or brown because the white people said so.They were quick with their "puppy dog eyes" to get some attention and thus defined Racism on a global scale. So the bottom line is "Racism is a crime started by the white people, for them to later condemn it." So where do the colored people stand in the entire scenario? Nodding their head to what the white people say.
(Alternate History)
Lets say that in some parallel universe things happened the other way round (I am a big fan of popular science and i love dealing everything with probability). Right now in a universe close by we might have the exact scenario where the colored people have dominated the world (with their population). According to a world ruled by them the color of their skin denotes the mother earth, the color of earth and they being the true descendents of a higher power. What would they call the white people they have dominated? "Pale", "lifeless" or may be "color-less" and wouldn't they be right to do so?Would they be called Racist? Yes i think so.
So coming to my point which is "some-crazy-relativistic-racism" theory, there is nothing called Racism in the absolute world. Its you who should stand for your cause rather than making laws on that. Be proud to be blue-black-white-purple or whatever you are. For those who haul racist slurs at you, they do that out of compulsion, denial of not being able to achieve what you did. Instead of "saying no to Racism", embrace it "gracefully".
