Teaching or forcing young children to say racist slogans and forcing children to become racist is a mental illness.

Racist people are more obsessed and consider these obsessions to be rational. That is why racist societies are constantly doubting and skeptical, and because of their behavior, they constantly sleep in fear and anxiety. Racist societies have insane obsessions. They are afraid of everything they say and they try to destroy the character of the person they suspect in every possible way. They even allocate funds for this. A mentally ill society.


ِIt is a very serious matter. Forcing young children to learn or repeat racist slogans is a form of child abuse and indoctrination. It can damage children's psychological development, their ability to empathize, and their view of other people.

It is not only "mentally ill" in the everyday sense, but also ethically and morally reprehensible. Children are malleable, and deliberately filling them with hatred or prejudice is a way of passing on destructive ideas.

The sentence you said is conceptually very important, since you refer to the issue of upbringing, brainwashing and racism. However, from a scientific perspective, we need to be a little more precise:

Brainwashing or forced indoctrination of children with racist beliefs is a harmful and immoral educational process, but in psychiatry it is usually called a "mental illness".

That is to say:

Racism is learned, not innate;

Racist behavior can be transmitted from the environment, family, society or media;

However, having racist beliefs in itself is considered a "mental disorder" if it is not accompanied by symptoms of other illnesses (such as paranoia or personality disorders). Because the goal of a racist is violence, and violence stems from mental illness and mental disorders.

However, from a moral and social perspective, such brainwashing of children is considered psychological and educational violence and can lead to unhealthy mental and emotional development of the child.
