Sounds about right.

If you are slapping yourself on the back over how swell you treat black folks you are probably the kind of person who doesn't see that our society is has a festering wound of vicious discrimination. If you haven't done anything to bring about real change you should really just feel ashamed of the culture you live in (I know I do).

I think a good deal of millennial pride in how enlightened they are is rooted in the soccer trophy phenomenon. Be all proud that you aren't a bigot when all you did was show up and act just like everyone ever acted while nothing actually changed.
