anti-racist
Actively combating prejudice
Anti-racist describes opposition to racism through active effort rather than passive non-discrimination.
The term implies that neutrality is insufficient—one must work against racist systems and attitudes: Anti-racist education challenges students to examine their assumptions.
As a noun, an anti-racist is someone committed to this stance.
The hyphen is standard but sometimes dropped.
