There is voluminous evidence. Study after study. Racism is on a continuum, it’s not just Klqn robes and MAGA hats. Daily microaggressions are the most commonly encountered examples. And screaming at the mention of the possibility that someone thinks you’re racist is, in my experience, a typical response, especially among white liberals.

Interesting that the mere thought of being called racist elicits a stronger response from some here than all her examples of how thoughtless words hurt minorities.

I suggest a few deep breaths and then go through each of the examples to see if you’ve ever done any of them. Suggested book: Derald Wing Sue’s, Microaggressions in Everyday Life
