Why is racism so normalized on social media in 2025?

Systemic racism refers to forms of racism embedded in systems that produce or perpetuate unfair treatment or oppression. It is often invisible and doesn't even require any intention or conscious decision to perform a racist or discriminatory action. Still, pretty much every system in modern society is in some fashion influenced by a degree of systemic racism, be it housing, criminal justice, education, medicine, labor, etc. Often a lot of weight from a history of more outward or obvious systemic racism has been pulled forward and is still being felt, however there still exists some weight on these systems today.

If you'd like, feel free to pick one (listed or unlisted) and we can talk about it further.

I will if you can tell me one that is unfair towards white people.

Hey, feel free to make an argument if you have one to make, but I'm not going to do it for you.

Since it seems like we've reached a dead end, I'll just say to the OP, I think people don't call out online racism more often because when we do, what comes out of it? People like KLXVER would rather hate the messenger to preserve their own innocence than take the uncomfortable step of acknowledging that society hasn't shed its racist baggage, because doing so challenges our own comfort a lot more than some annoying person yelling about racism online. So, we dig in deeper and we find ourselves backsliding into more and more obvious forms of discrimination...
