Having been the victim of racism by African Americans (including being mugged because of the color of my skin) and Asians (my own in-laws were upset that my wife was dating a white guy... it took awhile for them to accept that their daughter did "marry down".

So I agree... anyone can be racist. I also think anyone can outgrow "racism". Just as my in-laws and actually one of "muggers" later became one of my friends... but it took a few years and even after he became friends it took a few more years for him to say "sorry".

I am glad you are admitting that you can be racist and that you don't exclude yourself. So how do you want people to react when you are expressing your own "inner racist". Do you want them to come right out and confront you and call you racist?

Do you accept their statements when they say you are racist... or do you pushback? You wrote the your article like you were talking about white people, but weren't you really talking about all people including yourself?

Our family is triracial... my wife is Asian, my son's wife is African, we are not blind to skin color, it just does not define who we choose to love and spend our lives with... how about you?
