Heres a way to test yourself and see if you are racist.
If you feel that America will be harmed by the current trend of the browning of America, you are a racist.
If you think every time a brown, black or yellow person talks of racial discrimination they are "playing the race card", you are a racist.
If you think racial profiling for crime is fine, you are a racist.
A few years ago, I was partnered with others in my company for brief projects and had to find them, unidentified in a crowd, to link up and go on with our thing. After about 10 of these searches, I pretty much demanded that the politically correct BS be discarded and, if the guy was Black or Hispanic or Indian or female, I needed to know that so i wouldn't have to pan handle my way through the crowd asking everyone if they were Sam Jones or whatever.
Prior to that I was told that my partner was tall or short or stocky or thin. All useful markers, but if the guy is wearing a gold turban with a flashing red beanie light on it, and that's the most distinguishing feature, why not throw that in to the description.
People who pretend that they simply don't notice if a guy is Black or Hispanic or White are blind, preoccupied or lying. To me it's the same as noticing that a guy is tall or short or fat or skinny. Those features reveal about that person only that they are those things and probably that they are those things relative to my perception of what those things are.
I'm 6-2 so tall to me is different that it might be to someone who is 5-2. Oservations about race, like observations about anything, also reveal more about the observer than the observed.
