This is the big huge sticking point for so many people They think of racism as personal animus - it's a matter of white people getting pissed off, hateful, deciding they want to go fuck up some nonwhite people today It's not, it's just as structural as class

It *can be* personal and emotive, sure Just like class can result in "classism", in someone getting pissed off and yelling "You worthless peon, do you know who I am?" because they're a CEO and the other person is a retail worker But it doesn't *need* that to exist
