The McMath family are (as far as I can see) not biostatisticians. The author's belief may or may not be accurate, but it is based on their experience in life. By your comment's reasoning, You are as "casually racist" as they are if you do not gather the statistics that you instruct the author to gather.
"Casual racism" is what the author perceives based on living their life and observing their surroundings; it is not their giving voice to their interpretation.
- komali2 9y agoA couple jobs ago, my black coworker shared with me something along the lines of: >Racism will make you crazy, man. (boss name) will walk into the room and shake everyone's hand, but not yours, and he's already walking out and so you're thinking "did he skip me on purpose cause he's racist? Maybe he just didn't see me cause I'm tucked back in here in the corner? Why am I tucked back here in the corner, anyway?" You're at starbucks and the barista shoots you a weird look - is it cause she hates black people? Maybe she just had some shit in her eye or maybe you're just imagining it. He told me that while everyone knows racism is still alive, as a black man he's caught between detecting real racism and being an alarmist playing "the race card." It's an impossible fight, it "made him crazy."
- mistermann 9y agoI believe some women have similar feelings, but I have no way of knowing how true this is. It seems reasonable and semi-justified all things considered.
