5. It's funny to me how sensitive they are about it

I'm thinking of asking them, point blank, Do you believe the white race is superior?

And see if they can definitely say no to that. Or will they deflect? Talk about their black friend, etc?

I have a hunch they know they do believe the white race is superior and they know it is wrong and uncool now, thus the complaints about political correctness.

Also do they really believe nonwhite people have complete equality in this country now? Legally they do but as a practical matter? And if so, shouldn't they fight against racism? And to that end, SHOULD THEY HAVE NOT VOTED FOR THE ORANGE ONE!!!!!!

See I don't know how they can make excuses for that. So far it's just, "Oh I'm not racist" and "it's mean of you to suggest I might be a racist" but all the time the question is why it is OK to have someone who campaigned on that in the Oval office? Do you have a hard time wondering why POC don't feel good about that?
