>>9586802But I am racist. I used to think that I wasn't, and that I had learned racism only to overcome it, but I recall quite clearly now that I was racist as a small child and nobody really taught me that. It wasn't even on television, because we only had AFN. I didn't know the word racism. All I knew is that I didn't like those black children and their skin color reminded me of gross things. But I grew past that, only to find that some stereotyping is useful, and some racism by definition helps even the people you're racist against. People rely on the impressions they form, and that's okay, spic.
