I can tell you for a fucking fact that you have felt uncomfortable because a dark-skinned black man was walking toward you.
I am sure you have assumed someone of color was an employee when they were not.
I would bet a ton of money that you've been in a situation in which there has been a white person and a person of color and you assumed the white person was in charge.
Since none of us watch your every move we can't give you specific examples of what you do regularly that's racist. But going on the shit you post here (i.e., you think colorblindness is achievable and desirable), I think it's safe to say you, like everyone else, do racist shit. The point you need to get through your thick fucking skull is that unintentional racist shit constitutes racism too. It's just a different level. Jesus fucking Christ, man.

Of course I’ve been in a couple of those situations and had thoughts like that. And those are racist thoughts.
But a definition of racism that includes every biased thought that enters anyone’s head based on perception of another’s race is so broad it becomes meaningless. I’ve bristled at perceptions people have of me based on looks and my name. Can I call them racist? I fear lots of batshit crazy white people we see in this backwash state. (There are tons of angry white dudes.). Am I racist to avoid them? Can I be racist toward what’s technically my own race? This stuff gets elliptical pretty quickly.
