What's this?

What is your definition of "around every corner" or

"racism". To me "around every corner" means ever present, everywhere, etc. If your definition of racism includes the unconscious biases that everyone has -- including the unconscious biases that for example cause black police officers to mistakenly shoot black innocent bystanders at a far higher rate than they mistakenly shoot white innocent bystanders during police simulations -- then you will get no argument from me that "racism" is everywhere. Everyone has unconscious (and conscious) biases.

But if by racism you're mean people who are prejudiced against or hostile towards other races, treat people differently based on their race, believe that their own race is superior to another, etc, etc.... man if you think that is "around every corner" you live in a vastly different world from me, or surround yourself with a lot of shitty people.
