For a creature that’s known for their fashion choices of wearing a white sheet, you’d think there would be more racist ghosts.

They come from a time when it was socially acceptable to be openly racist. Plus, if you go back about 1000 years or so, it was socially acceptable to just murder entire villages because your people didn’t like their people.

But anytime you see a ghost, it’s always like “oooOOOooooOOOO!! I HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS ON EARTH!!!”

Like, seriously??? Why would a ghost give a fuck if his finances weren’t paid before they died?

And, can we talk about ghostbusters for a second? That one judge was like “Oooh, those are the famous criminals that were brothers! I sent them to death row”

But meanwhile they look NOTHING like humans. But somehow he instantly recognizes them. Are we led to believe they looked like ghoulish monsters when they were alive?

And the librarian looks like a human corpse. So, still human, but, like, after her body has been dead a few weeks. Are we to believe she died, and then her spirit stayed inside her rotting corpse of a body and THEN became a ghost, and retained it’s final form?

Either way…never seen a racist ghost. Which I think has to be statistically impossible.

    The ones that would stick around would likely be very racist. Consider that you don’t even need to stay in earth, you can just travel the universe. Or just travel the world. You don’t have gravity to help you, but passing thru solid matter isn’t a problem either. You could check out the core, Iceland, Botswana, Jordan, Kentucky, whatever. So if they stay in Kentucky, they’re gonna be super racist. But evidently not…
