100% unironically, white Americans are the least racist people on the fucking planet.

Not so fast. White people looking at themselves saying "we're less racist than others" after the historical terror that White people unleashed against others doesn't count. No. The methodology needs to come from outside. And 18-30 & 60+ are most oblivious to themselves.

I would agree that white people are the superficially least racist. In other words, they really go out of their way to avoid being labeled racist. Whether or not they are actually compared to another race, I don’t know.

You've a point there. There's an in-group and out-group dynamic there. In-group PC behaviour is to not endorse it. Out-group PC behaviour is to not acknowledge it. White people are also apoplectic if told by others that their narrative is Racist and "othering"/"dehumanising".

And some of the more open to self-criticism/self-observation/feedback tend to be Right of Centre White folks. (Somewhat religious, somewhat pro-capitalist, etc.,) The more the display of pronouns, higher the privilege exhibited/expected Vs Non-Whites/other countries' peoples.

Complex issues. If you’re right I shouldn’t respond

Oh please do. Response is different from umbrage. (And as it gets more complex, Twitter gets less handy with responses)

Okay. My feeling is that white people on racism fall into the following categories:
1) they don’t care about the topic. It is not relevant to them
2) virtue signallers
3) true racists
4) scientific justifiers
5)
people who don’t discuss it publicly
6) honest anti racist zealots

In most foreign countries, people are just group 1. In the USA the population breakdown is something like: 1>5>2>4>6>3

Sure. What I'm pointing out is that in-group folks find it hard to see. If not impossible. The first 3 tweets of this thread, apply not just to policing but entire historical/current narrative. Look at News Pictures of the rioting.https://twitter.com/greatbong/status/1267253296986652672?s=19 …

Arnab RayVerified account @greatbongThis is not to say good policemen don’t exist, they do, they are fair and polite to all, but if you encounter a bad policeman, the chances are that the bad side of him will evident to people who are not white. White people will get the best face of the bad cop.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes - 22 more replies
