The Real discussed a viral video that’s been making headlines over the last few days. A community meeting meant to address concerns over racism in a Michigan school district got ugly when a white parent “asked” a Latino parent a racist question. Community members had gotten together to discuss a racist incident involving Saline High School

lol what a stupid thing to say, if you go into any area you don't know, shit could happen, black, white, etc. and, prob nothing would happen to him if he did go lol

I’m glad the room got so immediately and loudly behind him. I was half expecting them not to and for him to have to fend off the racist douche alone

"Racists seem to constantly operate on the assumption that everyone who looks like them thinks and feels like them"

this is absolutely true, going by the number of times an old white boomer coworker has made a racist 'joke' and expected the other white people (incidentally younger but not all millennials) in the office to laugh, and been shocked when one of us has told him off. this has happened with 3 separate old assholes one a few occasions each, but they started keeping their opinions to themselves after they were reported to HR.

It really takes the wind out of their sails when they realize nope, it's just you.
