I find it fascinating talking to Americans about this. I tend to agree with you, that this is racist, but apparently it's only racist if it affects the people concerned negatively.
I have liberal friends who would be horrified at the thought that they were being racist. But they do factor race into decisions, usually trying to be positive about it.
I don't understand it. I'm fascinated by it.
- specialist 7y agoI'm also trying to understand racism in the USA. I'm very liberal and have been very involved with policy, politics, campaigns. The people I know and respect working on facets of racism refer to our current "racism without racists" as "systemic racism". Sorry, but other than inequity and bias, I have barely have a finger nail grasp of what that even means. But I am working on it.
