Admitting that all are racist is the first, effective step towards none practicing racism.
All are victims of racism and practice reverse racism, whether in response to hostile treatment or just giving unsolicited vent to a native, nasty urge to discriminate without any provocation whatsoever.
All are guilty and all should feel some guilt, but it is mostly collective guilt. To be rid of feeling of individual guilt and collective guilt about being and practicing racism is alleviated by adopting step two.
That is, to leave all groups and live as an individual. Most racism is a group identity hangup and it is that piece of primordial, psychic slime only washed away by living as a free, happy individuating person.
Racists are collectivists that hate the self primarily because they do not live free, work at developing the self and loving the self. All that selfless self-loathing needs draining from the sickened soul, so hating someone of another race a group of others of that race is a sure-fire means of feeling relief. Like cocaine, racist venting on a victim is an addictive high, and more and more is needed as time goes on to achieve something comparable to that original high.
Admit that you are prejudiced, and then grow to impartiality from there.
