My mum (bless her!) used to say, "I'm not racist, but I don't want a black family to move in next door; it'll bring down the property values."

That's not very different from all the people who say "I'd vote for Kamala Harris, but there's too much racism for her to get elected."

People "outsource" their racism to others.

If you're not actively supporting people from ethnic minorities, rather than creating problems for them, you make yourself part of a racist system.
