You can add dealing with racism on the list of stuff that every single person will deal with in their lifetimes. I don’t think it will every go away, even if it is not as bad as it was back in the day. Unfortunately, social media networks like Instagram only increase the problem because people do not have to worry about a physical confrontation. Well, if you ever see something to do with racism on Instagram, then there are a few ways you can reply to it.
FIRST WAY TO REPLY TO RACISM ON INSTAGRAM
The first, and probably best, way to respond to a comment like this is by saying nothing at all. Instead, simply “unfollow” the person who made the racist comment and you will send a message. Sure, they may not care that one person stopped following them, but you will serve a purpose. Racism can’t be tolerated with, and why would you want to follow someone who is racist anyway?
SECOND WAY TO REPLY TO RACISM ON INSTAGRAM
If you really want to send a message to whoever made a racist comment, then you need to turn the tables. To do this you need to crack a joke about their ethnicity, and they will know what if feels like. You can then explain that you are not racist, but instead just wanted to prove a point.
THIRD WAY TO REPLY TO RACISM ON INSTAGRAM
If you are not afraid of the circumstance, and you have nothing to lose then you should do the simple thing and speak your mind. Tell the racist how you feel about them, and maybe it will open their eyes. Some people are too ignorant for this to work, but you might end up talking some sense into somebody. Either way, you choose, just remember that you should always do something.
