One act against racism that white people can do is to call out the racism they witness in their everyday lives. Whether it’s an uncle’s tasteless “jokes” during a family barbecue, a boss making a racist comment during a meeting, or your friend’s microaggressions — it’s time to call that shit RIGHT OUT if you haven’t been doing it.
