It is generally used to hold other people back or to put others down because of their race. It is used to bully others, often on grounds unrelated to race, by using their race as a weapon. It is sometimes used to provoke actions in others such as suicide or violence.
Some people use racism as a way to look more like victims than they are. They may self-harm or vandalize their own property and blame anonymous persons of another race for it, claiming they are the victims of racism themselves. Or, racism from others may be used as an excuse for victim thinking, self-hate, drug abuse, violence, filing frivolous lawsuits, not taking responsibility for one's own actions, or just giving up. Racism is real, but it is not an excuse, though it is too convenient of one at times.
