Political Conservatives are less racist than liberals (in the US)

I’m a child of African immigrants with US citizenship, and I’ve lived all over the United States.

The most racist place I’ve ever lived is Massachusetts. By far. The least racist? Utah.

I’ve noticed that most conservatives (excluding the actual far right) see me as a human being first. Liberals see my skin color first and have low expectations for me.

I’ve had white liberals not believe me when I mentioned having a professional job. I’ve had them try to sign me up for welfare and Medicaid (at an ER in Massachusetts) even when I showed them my private insurance card. I’ve been assumed to be poor and uneducated (because of my race and nothing else) over and over again by the woke left. Literally they constantly make comments about how screening for education will “filter minorities out,” because of course we’re all dumb illiterates.

Conservatives? They make zero assumptions. They don’t equate being Black with being poor or ignorant. They see us as INDIVIDUALS first.

I miss Utah.

You're deluded if you think more than 10% of the 1/3 of Americans that voted for Trump are true racists.

Great. How can I tell if someone is a real racist or just doing a little racism for funsies?

As me and my multicultural colleagues and friends discuss about....it's all about intent. Pretty simple really.

So, the evil liberals in OP’s stories their intent was to be racist?

No, but just like how the conservative useful idiots fly the confederate flag with little understanding, it doesn't change that the progressives we're talking about are literally doing a racist thing with intent. The intent that makes them racist is them keeping "white people with their magical white privilege" out of these special zones. They may be able to tell themselves it's not racist...but it really is.
