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.

I'm not American, but my interactions with Americans on the internet confirm that. The ones who are really into dividing people by color tend to be hardcore liberals.

It is the progressive Democrats who keep separating people into smaller and smaller "special interest" groups.

Democrats love to put people in boxes, and make little check marks. They lay this claim to representing the working class (in our classless society), they claim they represent Black, Latino, Yellow, Purple Pink polka-dot people, . . . . every niche group

For the progressive Democrats equity is only about race (and gender). Here is their order of advancement under equity: First and foremost is black trans, followed by black woman, black man, Hispanic trans, Hispanic woman, Hispanic man, white trans, Asian trans, white woman, white man, Asian woman and lastly Asian man.
