"人種差別は死んでいませんが、政治家、人種を利用する者、そして他人を人種差別主義者と非難することで優越感を得る人々によって生命維持されています。"
— Thomas Sowell
Simplified Meaning:
Racism hasn't gone away completely, but it keeps going because certain people keep it alive for their own reasons. For example, some politicians might talk about race issues to gain votes or support. There are also some individuals who spread messages about race to benefit personally, like gaining fame or making money. Additionally, some people feel better about themselves when they label others as racist, which only makes the problem worse. To cut down on racism, it's important not to give attention to these behaviors and instead focus on treating everyone equally and fair. This way, the harmful actions of a few can't continue to affect everyone else.
