Some counterpoints: 1. Being accused of being a racist can be a career ending event. If you’re a public person, this scarlet letter will follow you for the rest of your life. 2. If you actually go to lower income areas, there is a lot of mingling between the races. In my neighborhood there are Asians, blacks, working class whites, Latinos, etc. We don’t all hang out, but we get along. Meanwhile: 1. It is perfectly acceptable to espouse racist views in public, but only against whites. 2. There is legal discrimination based on race in the United States, but only against whites and Asians. So, while I agree that racism exists, you’ll have to forgive me for not thinking it’s the huge boogeyman you think it is.
