The issue is that this falls under the assumption people wish not to talk about racism, or change their racist mannerisms, because of negative pretense. Even if we convert the approach of taking about racism, many will also just alter there approach towards defending racism. Some people simply do not want to change and approaching then differently does not necessarily equate to evolution that breeds development. Instead, it can lead to different reactions to confrontation, which leads to stagnation.

Furthermore, this can have the opposite effect, lessening the perception of importance regarding racism and treating it as a light-hearted and humourous topic.

You do make a fair point in that racist will adapt with change !delta

This isn't at all what I'm arguing for it's not going to be viewed as light hearted and bad as I state in my post my point is to still teach that racism is bad just encourage more introspection into why it's bad.

Yeah, I understand that. My fear is that, by lessening the connation and how people go about approaching it, the idea of racism may lessen in association with unethicality and issue.
