    Making racists remarks is what makes you a racist. Assuming everyone else has is similarly troubling.

      Totally agree.

      And even if you don’t say racist things, growing up in the US, the pervasive, insidious racist ideas (e.g., myths, stereotypes, falsehoods) may have infected our thinking.

      I think Dr. I. X. Kendi framed it right. It’s on each of us to understand what those racist ideas are, examine ourselves, and choose to fight against them not just in our own minds but everywhere.
