The Fallacy of White Privilege

And truth be told, most of these scenarios are less about racial prejudice and much more about geographic or socioeconomic prejudice (which we might more broadly refer to as "gross discomfort" with surroundings)....but that doesn't align with the agitator's playbook.

Prejudice and bias is natural, as the above illustrates.  Acting on those biases in a way that causes unjust harm is racism.  But, again, that doesn't align with the agitator's playbook.

So by your standard, a separate (but equal) "whites only" water fountain isn't racism because no one is unjustly harmed.  And you just compared other races to animals.
