no one is saying it's easy to change your core beliefs, it's not like switching a button, but it's definitely possible to do. you are not some special case in which you're completely predetermined to think and feel this way your entire life no matter the effort you put into changing. you just have to want to.

do what for you? no one is asking you to do anything for them. but as i said, you are only stuck if you believe yourself to be stuck. the only reason why people don't change, is because they believe themselves completely unable to change, don't want to and think they are 100% right. a therapist can help you with that. but it sounds like you dont want to change, and therein lies the problem. what is it, exactly, that makes you racist? do you just have an unfounded, prejudicial hatred of people of different races than yourself? do you believe everyone of a specific race has a certain level of intelligence? what exactly is the problem? if you can admit that traits such as height isn't something you choose, then surely you can understand race is the same? and that, much like people of the same race as you, no one person is the same, just because they are of a certain race?
do you actually want to change, or do you just want to complain? if that is even what you're doing. what is the point of this thread? to argue with people who are trying to talk some sense into you? to convince others you are right, even though you can clearly sense that people disagree with you? do some introspection please.

i can imagine myself as the leader of my country. i can imagine myself as filthy rich. i can imagine myself being the most respected and talked about person in the world. although most would say that is impossible, i can see those things happening before i ever change my mind on this.

i know it's a boring and it's not the type of answer you're looking for but i'm just trying to be as honest as i can. expecting me to change my core values is like cutting off a horses legs and tell it to run. it's just not realistic for me. perhaps when i was young and more gullible these tactics would work but it's too late

Your race being superior to other races is a core value of yours and yet you can imagine yourself leading a country, presumably a western one? You're deluded. As much as it's funny to say that the world is deeply racist, and as true as that may be, that's not the kind of racism that is common or popular.
