snowbunny3318: The unfortunate answer is that the further you get to the “right”, the more it becomes “us vs. them”. Them can include non-Jews, Jews who are not frum, non-Chassidim/Yeshivish/Yerushalmi, Tzionim, or even anyone not from your specific Chassidus. This has nothing to do with Racism, which while being a problem for RW Yidden in general (just because they believe it is a Mitzva to not do PC, which lumps together respect for other races), it is getting better with more knowledge of Frum Yidden of Color.
I have heard that in Rabbi Bender’s Yeshiva (which is at the forefront of chinuch in America), they discipline children for using the term “Shvartze”. If only it were true throughout the Yeshiva world.
