Actual, obviously racist behavior like hiring people based on race? Or creating labels like “person of color” that imply being non-white is an important commonality between completely different groups?

I won’t go so far as to say “liberals are the real racists.” But I grew up as a brown kid in a 95% white Virginia town, where people were afraid to talk about or notice race. I never thought that 30 years later I’d be having attention drawn to my race in routine business settings in blue DC. I didn’t think Maryland liberals would be the reason my mixed kids see racial differences between me and my wife.

Urban liberals aren’t as bad as stormfront people, but they’re worse than “where are you really from” Iowa people. It’s not even close.

Anyone who follows DEI as it is popularly practiced in American society today is a racist, full stop, plain and simple. It's incredibly frustrating as a minority to have one's agency taken away by *splaining white liberals.
