        I thought the conservative stance was that there’s no systemic racism. Your co-workers actually think all racism is solved, in the US of all places?? Sheesh

          So much so that I have one white coworker who openly uses the n-word because it’s “not racist anymore”.

      America without the racism would be like ice cream with no vanilla flavoring. Not even the racists would be trying to tell you its not there.

        Nah they think it’s in the past and black people are holding themselves back at this point.

        Seriously.

          One of the privileges if being a white guy is that other white guys wont even try hiding their racism from you if all you do is keep your mouth shut. Then you can let them run it all out before letting it slip that you aren’t one of their friends.

            Yeah, it’s a real privilege to be subjected to a bigoted rant while waiting for an elevator because they assume you’ll be on their side in the coming race war.
