Everyone is a little racist in some way. Sometimes the hardest problem to overcome is the blindness to the problem. Like there are people in the USA who think racism is over because slaves were freed and equal rights under the law was "granted" to non white people.

Also it isn't so much that everyone is a slavering racist as privilege for white people is the result of the system as it is designed and there are a lot of people who refuse to even acknowledge the problem. Usually this is because they refuse to listen to people of color's experiences.

I feel like at this point in the country it doesn't matter if you are or not. All you have to do is have a difference of opinion and you are labeled a raciest, sexiest or terrorist.

I dislike all races -- Indy 500, 100 meter dash, cross country, on and on. They stink.

I agree with that. When people say America is a racist society, they aren’t talking about individual experiences. America likes to focus on race a lot; through employment, crime, education, etc. Things such as the model minority (a myth still used today) is still being used to stigmatize Black and Hispanic Americans and groups Asian Americans as being all the same. Aside for that, There is still evidence of racial segregation in places like housing and church.
