He is obviously racist though.

[angriest_girl]

Wow, he’s really patting himself on the back for NOT actually beating up some random black person.

A lot more people have to unlearn racism than people like to think

[merel_93]

That is probably true, especially for white people who were born and raised in predominantly white areas. You just copy the behaviour of those you grew up with, I guess

[likeiused2]

I didn't honestly realize how fucked some of the behavior and thinking I was raised around was until I went to a liberal college...I mean, I realized it before, but I didn't have exposure to another way of thinking or other people until then. school integration is literally still being implemented in parts of this state. it's just nuts. you talk to the kids here and it's obvious they are just parroting whatever they've overheard their friends/parents/teachers/pastors say.

Nah.
