Topic	Do any of you think racism should be treated as a mental illness?
EnvoyOfTheLight 03/02/21 8:40:07 PM #12:	Tsukasa1891 posted... No. If racism is classified as a mental illness, then you're just giving racist people a excuse for their behavior as well as giving them the chance to throw it back in your face for making fun of their disability. Do you really want to be the one who's treated like a bigot for calling out a racist? I think this is an overly defensive consideration. It automatically negates racism's validity if you admit it's only coming from a mental disorder, rather than any rational thought process. --- i horf and i <cite>EnvoyOfTheLight posted [p:951271932] in Do any of ...
