Not a joke. I got heated over (what seems to me) whitewashing of liberal racism. It is a very real problem that liberals can spout blatantly racist garbage ("You ain't black") but never actually get classified as racist. Yet merely thinking capitalism is a good system is enough to get one classified as a racist and a fascist.
I apologize for getting triggered on the second part of your post and forgetting the first, but I think it's very important to call racism racism. Calling racism "colored perceptions" is so misleading as to be false.

You know, I thought briefly about rephrasing the "colored" part because the accidental "pun". But nothing came to mind.
I mostly agree with you about "liberal racism". Apology accepted.
For the record, I'm not having that perception. But many will judge people by who agrees with them.
