Acknowledging that you’re prejudiced against a group of people can be hard, but it's the first step towards changing your attitude and behaviors. There are the more obvious things you should avoid in order to stop being racist, like racial slurs and cultural appropriation, but racism isn't always so overt. Things like not interviewing someone for a job because their name sounds foreign or not sitting by someone on the bus because of their skin color are also forms of racism that might not be as obvious to you. As you go about your day, try to think carefully about your behaviors, and question any assumptions you're making about people based on their race. You can also do some research about the history of racism to broaden your perspective, and consider attending anti-racism conferences or rallies so you can learn more and meet new people who are actively fighting racism.
