The most racist people I've ever met are affluent white liberals. The reason is that they inherently believe that minorities of all stripes can't get by without the Great White Mother making all their decisions for them. The patronizing tone and the sheer resistance to treating people like adults is a prejudicial block they can't get past.

The most racist Americans I met were down south when I was young. The entire world was a stratified racial hierarchy to them, but niggers were close by and received the brunt of it. Whites were on top. They spoke openly about it and at least half of their jokes were racial. They've always resented that they've been pulled forward and blamed it on the North East. There's plenty of examples of racism elsewhere in the country, and also of tolerance. Racists tend to believe their racism is justified and other people won't admit it, or are brainwashed because it's so easy to see, the differences are right out in the open. We are now going through a backlash wave of 'justified' racism. Hegseth took all women and many blacks off the military promotion list. Blatant discrimination and racism. And this is somehow treating them like adults? Dope's trope is easily seen through.
