Okay, I guess I misunderstood, sorry. Yes, that makes sense.

Biases are taught and not all of them are obvious, especially to young people.

That's exactly the point that I and a few other people are trying to make in this thread. Some of us weren't taught them, which is apparently super hard for some of these commenters to comprehend. It's like they think "oh, I said bigoted things when I was young, therefore everyone else must have too, and if someone says they didn't, I don't believe them". They refuse to believe that other people had different experiences than them, so it's kind of funny to me that they're the supposedly more open-minded ones.

I don't know if you were the person I was responding to or not, but you don't see the issue with someone being like "my dad was racist and I could tell immediately, so other teens must have also realized and simply agreed with what they were taught" while not taking into account that racism can be very insidious and hard to tell is racism if you aren't taught otherwise?

All I was saying is it is often not as simple as that. If every racist or type of racism were completely overt, it'd be much harder for well-meaning teens to get indoctrinated. Whereas lots of people look back and go oh my god, that was racist all along.

No, I'm not them, luckily my dad isn't racist. But unless someone is homeschooled by said racist dad/parents and never allowed to leave the house or read a book or watch TV, they are going to encounter other people who do not have the same beliefs as their racist parents and realize that maybe their parents aren't always right.
