Black Guy here. Whatever happened to just not being whiner and sucking it up and dealing it with? I don't know why people feel so offended and outraged by such minor things. OH DEAR THE WHITE GUY WENT IN FRONT OF ME AT THE RESTAURANT! RACISM I NEED HELP!!!! Let's be f**k real here. When my parents came to this country they would have gotten a firehose to the face and a greyhound ticket out of the south. Now my biggest problem is the white dude who MAY have cut me in line? Come on, that's not a problem.
I'm just so sick of this delicate flower attitude around race, as if every instance of POSSIBLE micro-aggression is some huge burden society places on minorities. Grow up.

Well, the racism I generally see is related to denying people housing on account of their skin color, ethnicity etc. People know how to disguise their motivation in doing this sort of stuff but I can assure you it exists in the real estate and finance sectors.
I've actually had people try to get buddy buddy me with and explain how they don't want to sell or rent to minorities. But just because I'm white middle aged dood doesn't mean I tolerate that kind of crap.
Someone stepping on your toes isn't racism. Someone telling me to deny your application for housing based on your skin color is.

Sigmund Freud defined four parts of a psyche; the id, the ego, the superego and the stratego. The Stratego being the highest form of morality and scientific thinking.
