    That’s…kind of what I feared.

    But that explains why I get the same reaction about not being racist in the same way vegans get for supporting animal rights…they literally see us as livestock at best.

      with the people I grew up around, they did use the term racist negatively, but they defined as something more like “saying slurs around non-whites.” They only see as manners, which is why they’ll deny being a racist if you ask them. They’ll be polite to non-whites in day to day interactions, but they do not perceive poc as full human beings. They’ll smile politely as they endorse genocidal policy.

      The white folk from my hometown are the worst racist scum on earth and a big reason for why I believe we’ll need widespread re-education.
