| read my post again carefully. my point is actually that _no_ non-white american people would be shocked. i'm not really talking about white people at all, because obviously there are some who would be and wouldn't be shocked at widespread racism by white people. this is a subtle point that you are missing, which is ironic because you are 25% asian, i imagine you have seen quite a bit of anti-asian racism (it's just a joke bro! don't you love being the butt of jokes? who doesn't love that!) from white people because they have no idea you have asian family. and i'll just pre-empt your next point: i'm not saying only white poeple can be racist, that's obviously not the case if you've ever been overseas, and anti-white racism also happens a lot in america. i'll generalize my point for you, so that you may understand: no person of a minority race would be shocked that the majority race harbors a not-insignificant subpopulation with vehement racist views against other races. if every single majority race were to spend a week as a minority, that would likely dispel any notions they had of the contrary. ^ this works for all races. |
