A lot of Social Justice Fighters actually create a non-existent problem and then fight against it. In my opinion it is not racism to show people, with red hair, black skin, large eyes, short hand, small nose or whatever. If someone looks at these people and see only racism then it may be well possible that the racism is not on the picture but in the head of the said observer.

In my opinion racism is when someone suggest bad things about a group of people (preferably minority group, according to the internet warriors). I do not see racism when there is no negative feelings involved, just by showing, pointing out or joking about any differences.

Some people became way oversensitive, and often for "some imagined others", not even for themselves. It is sad and disturbing, since it became just another opportunity to raise the stress level claiming preceived problems with others.

discrimination doesnt start with "suggesting bad things about a group of people", it starts by creating such a group of people, and enforcing it, culturally, politically, socially and at every level (including by jokes, memes, etc.). then at some point in history when society will be tense enough and on the verge of collapse, there will always be someone to suggest that this virtual "group of people" is the cause of... you know... everything bad.

but discrimination starts way way earlier. when making "groups of people" based on things they didn't chose, and that actually shouldn't matter so much...
