anyone accidentally do something racist before?
today i got high and was discussing evolution with my black friend and when he mentioned that he didn't believe in it, i said it was probably because he was black (i know that a lot of black people don't believe in evolution). When i realized the implications of this statement i tried to backpedal by explaining that the monkeys in africa are more human-like, and considering we both agree that life began there it would kinda give a black people reasons to be offended by the concept of evolution if they are driven to the idea that there's something inherently special about us as human beings.
I guess my question is, am i racist?
He didn't seem particularly offended but he seemed kinda surprised and I feel really bad is all.
