“I mean, if you were a racist, would you want to be honest with yourself?”
Actually, yes.
When I was growing up, the only interracial couples I saw were on TV, and for almost every couple either the male or both were suspects.
ONE kiss between Kirk and Uhura, Joey and his wife on one season of Soap, and neighbors on The Jeffersons, but very, very few neutral couples much less positive.
Years later, as I moved to more cosmopolitan areas than South Central Idaho, I saw a lot of interracial couples in real life. And I ALWAYS had a negative reaction to black man/white woman pairs. I couldn’t understand it.
Just on sight, I judged them, esp. the woman. I would stop and examine that judgment every time, until it just went away. Watching old shows on TV i started to see where that came from.
The opposite, white man/black woman, just makes me horny, probably because of my marriage.
SO, yeah, if i have racist tendencies, I’d like to confront them.
I do not pretend to think , though, that this is a common trait, esp. among MAGA types.
