Ex-racists of reddit, what made you change your mind?

I wouldn’t say I was exactly racist, I never had an opinion on others, I went through that “edgy meme”early teen phase for a while so me and my friends at the time used to drop racial slurs to each other at the drop of a pen. We meant nothing of them, that’s just how we spoke to each other, if you’ve ever played a game with a mic and guns you know exactly what I’m talking about. Anyway, I recently became best friends with a POC, he is the most respectable person I’ve ever met. We began working out together and I even put good word in at the place I work. Now we’re enjoying our summer job and making a lot of progress on ourselves. I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way.
