"当种族主义不再有利可图且不再具有心理作用时,它将消失。届时,它将消亡。"
— Toni Morrison
Simplified Meaning:
Racism will go away when people and companies can’t make money from it, and when it no longer gives some people a sense of superiority over others. Imagine a store selling toys: if they realize that promoting toys for all children, not just certain races, makes them more money, they'll stop any racist practices. Also, if people stop feeling better about themselves by putting others down, they'll have no reason to be racist. For example, in history, some people supported slavery because it made them rich. When slavery ended and it was no longer profitable, society slowly started to change. By treating everyone equally and not using race to get ahead, we can help end racism. Working together and respecting each other means no one has to be put down for someone else to feel good.
