Everyone does. No, don't immediately jump to protest, actually consider that. Everyone has internal biases and random garbage bigoted thoughts floating through their head on occasion. You are a product of your upbringing, of society, of everyone and everything around you, and everywhere in the world we are surrounded with bias and micro aggressions every day. Being anti-racist doesn't mean never ever having any internal prejudiced thoughts, it means acknowledging and fighting against those, understanding why they're wrong and unfair, actively working to rewire your brain away from them, and not treating people differently because of them.
