yeah uh friendly reminder that you cannot ignore racism happening just because “you don’t see it.” there’s always racism happening in communities, including ours. and if you’re white saying “well i haven’t seen any racism” that just shows how privileged you are.
That being said. I hope everyone not just in bootwt but in all communities start to understand that you cannot ignore racism, it is an issue everywhere and the only way to combat it is by calling it out and by making sure that bigots are unwelcome no matter what.
