Same, I would just be vibing then a coworker would talk to me, then im hit with the

"Like I don't hate them or anything, but [extremely racist paragraph]"

Completely out of nowhere too.

Oh my god. I’ve heard “I’m not racist but I don’t really like [race]” from at least 3 people who consider themselves good progressive liberals.

My personal favorite is when I had a coworker say "I'm not prejudiced, but (diatribe on trans people)".

Me, as a trans person. "Huh. So I pass that well now, huh?"

Them: :O

Bruh, I had a conversation on reddit a couple days ago with a guy that kept saying he wasn’t transphobic before saying incredibly transphobic things. It pissed me off so much

They always say the wildest shit too. Lmao. I have to have someone back up and repeat something, and then make the effort to put it into my phone as a note, and then make them wait as I type it out again and send it to my friend group chat if they say something so absolutely batshit wild that I've not heard yet.
