No, I'm interpreting the subsequent actions as "I'd rather have a dictator I choose, than a democratically-elected leader I don't like".

And what's the difference between that and what I said?

I think the casual racism here is the failure to recognize that whites (and particularly white males) have long had an advantage in our society; one that was institutional for a very long time.

I don't think anyone that understands US history is ignorant of that. However, the country has made huge strides since then.

Failure to recognize this, in my experience, is the most common casual racism.

The blueprint for staying out of poverty in this country is

-To have 2 stable parents at home
-To finish high school
-To wait until marriage before having kids

Are all ethnic groups the same in those regards?
