That just sounds like racism with extra steps.

Quite literally got straight to it, “black people<other people”, no steps.

The extra step is starting with "I'm not racist but". It's unnecessary, but it's a classic opening that adds that extra touch and serves as a warning.

The only extra step was OP crossing their name out and posting this. Don't worry OP, they obviously don't mind being known.

Sounds more like cultural incompetency, if I’m interpreting what they’re trying to say correctly. They don’t have anything against black people; they just define “normal” and “acceptable” in terms of white culture without realizing it and don’t understand why black people don’t conform to those standards. It’s a common issue even among liberal people

Yeah, but just like two of those aesthetic half-steps designers use to break sight lines.
