Are white americans in denial about racism

[Siddhartha]

I met this white girl from southern usa (tennessee i think). And the conversation turned political, so i asked her does the south have a problem with racism and her answer was no, that some people have biased views but its not systemic.

Man if some person in Europe can do research and see the patterns of systemic racism all over the history of America it really feels like white people are burying their heads in the sand.

Majority groups (whites in this case) tend not to think much about racism, while minorities (POCs here) tend to over-analyze and are hyper-altert on racism and microaggressions. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

Well some cadaans are taught to view this as a non-issue as they aren't affected systemically by racism. That's not to say they don't experience poverty or classism but they benefit from 'racial neutrality' aka being seen as the 'norm'. As they control the institutions they also see themselves reflected and represented everywhere and are somewhat clueless about what minorities experience.

Look at it this way in 2016/17 Cadaans were:

Ten richest Americans 100%
US Congress - 90%
US Governors - 96%
Top Military advisors - 100%
President + Vice President - 100%
US House Freedom Caucus - 99%
People who decide which TV shows you see - 93%
People who decide which books you read - 90%
People who decide the news coverage - 85%
People who directed 100 top grossing films of all time - 95%
Teachers - 82%
Full-time college professors - 84%

In America cadaan people largely live in racial isolation from madows and have few authentic cross-racial relationships. Cadaans are deeply influenced by the racial messaging they see in films. Imagine most film makers being cadaan and men. And these individuals represent the 'other' and will do so in an often narrow, problematic and reinforced way.

I read this recently in a book called White Fragility by an cadaan professor.

Why I’m no longer talking to white people about race

The long read: For years, racism has been defined by the violence of far-right extremists, but a more insidious kind of prejudice can be found where many least expect it – at the heart of respectable society

If i was white i wouldn't care either. Can't stand folks who cry victim all day. Put up or shut up.

So true, most thing average white person do they dont even think of racism. But we have a growing number of black people who are taught to constantly look for racism. It must be exhausting

It does not effect them so they don't see it as a "me" problem only "they" problem. Most people in the world are prejudice against someone else. God knows Somalis have some of the biggest problems and issues in existence. The fact that they love Arabs and hold Islam beyond reproach says everything about their mental state.
