This morning I watched a CNN interview with 8 Dallas residents who insist that Trump's "go back to where you came from" comment was not at all racist. Not in the slightest. But calling it "racist" WAS racist, said one. Then the House defined that same comment AS racist and voted to rebuke Trump for making it.

So I'm not sure what "plain old racism" could be anymore, though it appears we are not short of people who can "see" it and "call it out."

Two quick questions then:

Do appreciable numbers of white people in the US believe that they are victimized as a race/for their race? ("appreciable"=enough to turn elections at some level of government.)

If there is such a thing a racism, do you see it as largely a personal thing in the US, occurring occasionally between individuals, or is it largely a social relation occurring between differently empowered groups? Seems to me people who dispute the existence of "reverse racism" used to fall into the latter category. Now I'm wondering if that is changing.
