And you interpret that as "Let's go get a dictator"? Interesting.
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".
It's been my experience that the most casual racism comes from those who insist that that minorities are incapable of taking care of themselves and as such the government should be doing more.
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. That is being overcome slowly, but there is a reason white incomes (or health/longevity, or any of several metrics) is superior to blacks. And it's not because whites are superior. Blacks in particular have started from a disadvantaged point, and have had to work extra hard to overcome that. Failure to recognize this, in my experience, is the most common casual racism.
