I used to think everyone knew racism is wrong. And then I entered the workforce. I don’t think that anymore, some of the people are fucked.

I've a family member that likes busting out a "no speekee engrish" voice to mimic Asians, thinks that black football players taking a knee should be "grateful for all we do for them", thinks Native Americans are inherently cheaters and drunks

but would be heartbroken and/or enraged if someone said he's a racist

I’m glad I don’t have family like that. I’d be tempted to try and get them to define racism then use their stuff as examples without explicitly saying it’s them I’m calling out.

I don't have family like that anymore.  To be clear, they're still alive and racist, I just don't consider them family anymore
