    But if most of the people I grew up with also come from racist families, that’s what I expect. Those of us not waiting for the south to rise again are horrified, this is a fucking problem and there’s more of them than there are of us because they like rape and don’t use birth control.

      That’s called prejudice.

      Yes, there are lots of terrible people. Focus your criticism on those instead of assuming every white person is like that.

      The issue is white supremacy, not whiteness.

        I’ll bring that up next time some white person assumes I’m cool with their Aryan tattoos and stories of race-based violence. Because they assume everyone white is like this.

          Damn dude, you really need to find better places to hang out if that’s a regular occurrence for you.

          But yes, the correct response in that situation would indeed be to inform them that not everyone who’s white is as depraved as they are, and then proceed to never talk to them again.
