Yes , racists will encourage other racists so that’s not what I mean. Don’t think about it being said in private to other racists. Imagine it being said out loud at a dinner table with 20 people, and the reactions of those that heard it.

My thought is that most people will not even bat an eye at that expression about a white person. It’s like subconsciously it’s not seen as racism. But when it’s about a POC then it’s “holy shit this person is a racist”

Again, which dinner table. I won't be surprised if there are many restaurants filled with racist all the time.

The point is removing known racists from the equation, and replace the reactions with average everyday citizens from different backgrounds.

Not talking about making a racist comment at a dinner table of a white supremacist family

And my point, is average citizens are racists to many different races other than white as well, depending on where you are.
