I realize you feel someone has to be just like the people they're around a lot because... well that's how you are.

But it's not like that with most evolved more "normal" people. Without being racist I used to belong to a racist motorcycle gang for years & years.

I later went into coaching... football & basketball with at least as many adult Black friends & coaching assistants as White. And have coached and mentored probably more minorities than White.

Racism isn't something you catch from other people like the flu. Racism is something you choose to or not to accept as the right way to live and treat people.
