The problem is you have people who have anecdotal experience that says whites don’t act in racist ways. I have a bunch of data that I could drop here (100s of sources that say otherwise). I’ve seen these debates online before and I’ve never seen a single opinion changed.
The problem is the things being challenged for many (of not most or virtually all) people is their identity and morality. Not simply an experiment about if blueberries have more antioxidants than blackberries. Data and evidence simply don’t matter in these sorts of discussions. And that’s why they tend to devolve quickly.

When you make such a significant claim denigrating an entire people, you better have evidence. For example, in recent studies I’ve seen, whites have the LEAST in group bias (bias towards their own race), and blacks have the most BY FAR. Whites were the only group that even showed net out group bias (white liberals). At a glance, that suggests to me that whites are the least likely to be racist across the board, often to the point of racism towards their own race.
