If someone were to ask me if the US had a lot of racism, I think I’d have good reasons to say “Yes”; after all, in the past year or so, the streets have been filled with racist rioting and looting and peacefully being violent, racist anti-racism has been pushed into our schools and society as a whole, and “representation”, including racial representation, has become the norm for all coming forms of media entertainment.
Yep, racism sure has spiked in the last year.
The problem isn’t really with the question itself, but with the way the ones asking it insist on interpreting “racism”; after all, if they asked me if I thought the US has a lot of racism, they would not mean by “racism” what I would mean by it. For them, “racism” means just “white racism”, while my view would include that and other forms.
