I'd argue that most racists aren't actually racist, they're culture-ist, it's just that race happens to correlate with culture a lot and gets used as a proxy.

Racism is people yelling out their car windows telling you to go back to your country. They don’t wait to figure out whether you watch the same tv shows or celebrate the same holidays

Yea, I agreed with this in another one of my tweets - a lot of people assume you're of a different culture due to your appearance and won't take the time to figure it out.

I mean I appreciate the appeal to the intelligence of humans that racist hang ups are due to higher order prejudices, but Occam’s razor would suggest they’re yelling out the car because they don’t like the way you look
