I can't resist reiterating (at the risk of seeming obsessive) that the very same principle applies to someone accused of racism who vehemently denies being racist. Evidence in the form of their past words and deeds can be presented to show that they are, in fact, racist.https://twitter.com/michaelshermer/status/1370170284997812226 …

The real question is: What do you do with the realization that you are at least a little racist? I've been trying to learn and use what I learn to make myself better and even become anti-racist. You can't improve yourself if you so defensively deny that you even have a problem.

I like to look at it this way with respect to any implicit racism still in me. I'm definitely better than I was ten or twenty years ago but still not as good as I'd like to be. It's a process, not an endpoint.

I grew up in the rural south. I have unlearned quite a lot, yet some of that learned racism I still have to consciously suppress.
