1,000%. I’m white. If there’s one thing that makes me feel like I’m losing my mind, it’s how I know most of my fellow mayos do really hate black people - but no one ever comes out and just says it, even when there’s only around other white people. And in fact they will go out of their way to deny they have a racist bone in their body. They’re racist af but since they never actually come out and say “I think all black people should be deported to Africa”, if you try and call them out on their bullshit they get incredibly defensive and deny everything. It’s like, most white people have this vague notion that being racist is bad. But they see themselves as being good. So they can’t be racist. But they also hate black people. So they square that circle by telling themselves that so long as they don’t come out and say “I think white people are just better”, then they can’t be racist. They proscribe the definition of racism to be so narrow that they can claim that “racism is over”.

i've been a white liberal, i've been in the milieu of white liberals, i know white liberals. i don't think this is true tbh, at least in liberal circles. there's a conflation between being blind to systemic racism or structural issues and racial animus; liberals may be guilty of the former (or, may be definitionally so), but that doesn't imply the latter.
