The idea that being married to a person from one minority proves somebody isn’t a racist is nonsense. A white person can be married to an Asian spouse and still hate all black people.
-
Do other people accuse you of being a racist?
No (or very rarely, I can’t even remember one time, but it must have happened once) -
Do you start statements with the words “I’m not a racist but…”?
No
Are there things you say about other races that you wouldn’t say in front of somebody belonging to that race?
No
Do you check to see if anybody of another race is in earshot before saying things about that race?
No.
When you make comments or tell jokes about other races, do the people around you look at you strangely and leave the area?
Sometimes.
Do you find yourself defending other people who have been accused of racism?
Sometimes
Do you base these arguments on unusual definitions of terms like race, racism, racist, or other words?
Sometimes
When you hear that somebody has been accused of racism, do you instinctively take the side of the accused over the accuser?
No
When you hear people calling somebody else racist, do you find yourself thinking that you’ve said or done the same thing that other person did?
No
Do you think that other people agree with your views on race but are afraid to say so?
I’m not sure what other people think unless they say something. Even then…
Do you think there’s a double standard on race?
Sometimes
Do you ever ask how far anti-racism is going to go?
No
Do you have views on subjects that aren’t racial - freedom of speech, freedom of association, property rights, states rights, heritage - that you only care about in racial terms?
Absolutely not.
More than that. A white person can be married to a black person, have many black friends, and even as they grant “there are plenty of good black people out there,” still be racist. Against black people, against Asians, against whomever.
Hohum. Every Asian has those signs.
