[QUOTE="Triumvirate, post: 75452419, member: 431077"] If they are treating someone differently according to a consistently observed trope that targets one race vs another. They may not realise it's an issue, but that doesn't stop the behaviour from being racist. But this is why it's important to distinguish the conceit of A Racist Person from racist behaviour and words. Edit: Again, it's rather baffling that racism is magically protected...somehow...as a wrong that people cannot accidentally or inadvertently commit. It patently is. People might say a word or a phrase that they've heard where it wasn't presented to them as racist, but still might be racist. That isn't automatically [I]wrongdoing[/I], but it is still racism. The problem is when people choose to get defensive about being corrected on this by people who do know that it's racist. [/QUOTE]
