10 Reasons Why You Should Be Racist
huffpost.com

Racism (n): belief that all members of a certain race has characteristics that define it as inferior or superior to another race

Prejudice (n): preconceived opinions or biases that are not backed by rational evidence or experience

Bigotry (n): intolerance and narrow-mindedness towards different opinions

1. You believe that the amount of melanin defines one character.

Who knew that those pigments had the ability to determine a person’s potential–it’s mind-blowing, really.

2. It’s not always skin-deep (excuse the pun).

Although you do place physical appearances on a pedestal, other aspects such as religious tolerance and cultural appreciation are foreign to you.

3.You don’t appreciate diversity.

Why be different when you can all be the same, right?

4. You’re not the biggest fan of the “all men are created equal” shindig.

Your rights and freedoms are worth more than the person next to you—privilege and entitlement? Sign me up!

5. Trump is your savior.

That very experienced businessman—sorry, politician—will make America great again.

6. You love blaming others for your own problems.

Swerve that responsibility and point those fingers, you’re doing good.

7. Your mantra has become “ignorance is bliss.”

Why educate yourself to become more aware of making informed decisions when you can just assume? The answer to this question is uncanny.

8. You channel stereotypes.

If you could use a label maker with people, you would.

9. You’re an “all or nothing” type of person.

One individual did something wrong? Let’s just blame the entire race and call it even.

10. And finally, you would rather be known as bigoted rather than compassionate; prejudice rather than accepting; and a racist rather than a humanitarian.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
