Why is racism harmful?

It's not always harmfull. If we didn't have racism, we could possably be dead right now. If the Holocaust never happened, one of those Jews might have produced a killer, which could have killed your grandfather or grandmother, so I wouldn't be answering this question right now. Because we did, we are here today. Sure people died, but, people died because of Stallin too. no one points him out though, do they.

But, anyways, racism makes people angry, which can cause fights, which can cause harm, which can also cause death. so, DO NOT BE RACIST.

unless you are ready to face the consequences.

It's dangerous because of how it makes others act upon others. To be racist doesn't mean to act violently, but as a person continues to hang on to racist thoughts and views, they may very well think they need to act on them in a violent manner; this is especially if they feel they are not getting their way through other means.

Who are victums of racism?

Basically, everyone is victim to racism. African Americans or 'blacks' are mostly the base that started racism. So, generally, they were victims of racism, yet it has slowly died down, moving the 'spotlight of racists' towards Hispanics/Asians. Now, I know that the two shouldn't be combined but still, after blacks had their share of racism, it moved towards them. Asians, however, are not as racist or end of racism as Hispanics. Technically Hispanics are more racist then being victims, so that is yet another mark on the racism pole. Nowadays, surprisingly, it is white people who are mostly at the end of racism. Probably, racism is starting from who the majority is and who the minority is, so the tides have turned. Whatever.
