It's almost impossible for White people to see the racism that is ingrained in society, it subtle and if it isn't happening to them the knife is too keen to feel. A leftist paper in my town did a survey of the media many years ago. I don't remember all the statistics but one thing they noted was that if a criminal was black the odds of his race being mentioned in a news report was orders of magnitude higher. I never noticed this until I read the piece. It's a pretty fucked up thing to start noticing.
