Black people will literally bring receipts and screenshots of #racism on this app and people will reply like “wait, what’s soo bad about that? I have the same predisposition to comments or questions like these, does it make me racist?”

YES. If you reply to a concern about racism by centering yourself instead of listening to the person affected, and trying to learn, yes.

@AnthonyUplandpoetWatkins @intentionaut Us or US? 😂 Capitalization makes it hard to tell which you meant, but if the latter, it's definitely not just US. This kind of "I don't want to hear about racism, plus you're being reverse racist, and I don't believe you, and..." response is classic from Europeans too.

@dalias @AnthonyUplandpoetWatkins @intentionaut It should be certainly “us”. We, Europeans, don’t have that many blacks (outside of UK, France, and other former colonial empires), but we have Roma, Turkish gastarbeiters, immigrants from Africa and Near East and others. I think we all can safely assume that we all are racist, and only some of us have not admit it (to themselves) yet (and if we, blokes, have nothing else to do, we can start with sexism).
