So... ... ... if you say you aren't racist, then you are racist? Only racists talk about not being racist?

If you say you aren't a racist, you may still be a racist...or you may not be.

The point isn't to say that everyone is (despite the Avenue Q song), but some of the reasons some people use to back up the claim aren't always valid.

I do tend to find that white people who acknowledge that racial prejudice is insideous has to some extent affected their behaviour and thoughts and acknowledge that they have 'white privilege' do tend to be less racist than people who just outright deny that racism has anything to do with them.

kinda like how straight people who are completely comfortable with gay people being teachers, parents, legislators, soldiers, and getting married tend to be a lot less gay than your average tight-assed, wide-stanced republican in a public bathroom stall.
