Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
having recently taken a class on anti-racism (disclaimer: i am a white cis-male) i do not get the feeling you are truly a student of anti-racism. treating people with kindness is not enough. one must actively be aware of their biases at all times. for example, this morning i saw a small black child playing basketball on court that has seen better days. the hoop didn't even have a net.
