Anyone with a brain and sense of dignity will feel like racism is bad and unfair. Experiencing negative racism is enraging and depressing. Experiencing positive racism instantly gives you impostor syndrome and a sense of dehumanization.

The only systems that aren't racist are those that strive to be colorblind (in the sense that we're colorblind to eye or hair color).

Eye/hair color being a distinguishing feature is mostly a white people thing in its own right...

There sure is a lot of effort invested in changing hair color, given that we're blind to it.
