This was the ONLY point I was making....but somehow I'M THE RACIST
Thanks for being a voice of reason
I think most people are racist to a degree, even at a low level, not necessarily in a nasty way, but people discriminate on a low level all the time.
Take sports for example, I know lots of black people who didnt watch F1 or Tennis until there were black people in the sport. Once there was a black person in the sport, who did they support, the black person. Suddenly they are major F1 fans.
If they were F1 fans why did they need a black person to be in the sport before they would support or follow it.
I have worked with black colleagues who would not live in a certain area, because its too white. They are not being racist as such, but clearly they discriminate to some degree based on skin colour or ethnicity.
