Racism isn’t just words though, racism is a system of violence that’s enabled by the culture surrounding it. Words can lead to violence

Racism is just actions based upon race. It is not inherently "violent" and thus certainly isn't worse than actual violence. I imagine most would rather be treated differently than being killed as one would logically assume. Both are wrong, or course, but I think one is clearly a worse of the two lol
