Are you racist

Many enlightened white people are doing some self evaluation to determine if they are prejudiced. They are discovering that it is very difficult to prove you are not racist. It started years ago with comments like some of my best friends are, fill in the blanks. Then later people would make pronouncements about race and some would write articles about their racial feelings. Much of this is now denigrated as virtue signaling. Here is one answer to the question. "If you have to ask if you are a racist, you are," says Angela Bell, an assistant professor of psychology at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania. "And if you are not asking if you are a racist, you are." Some have suggested that all white people are racist meaning if you were born white you are racist and this can lead to what is called white guilt. This is also racist.
