It is easy for white people to deny because they are never the subject of it.
I see that all the time around here. someone claims there is no more racism in America. I then post a whole list of scientific studies that show identical resumes and housing applications are treated differently based on the ethnicity of the name. Then I post multiple studies proving that police employ racial profiling. But instead of any of these people admitting they are wrong they respond "Well, it just doesn't happen very often". they just refuse to accept that racism still exists.
Then when there is some situation like this they make up a story they "believe" is true where the minority does something to deserve getting treated badly and then tries to blame it on racism.
No amount of proof will change the minds of some people. They just can't imagine a nice white person being a racist.
