Right. This article discusses how race plays a central role in the opposition to universal health care policies like Obamacare, particularly focusing on how some of the resistance in the South is due to white populations not wanting Black Americans to receive free care: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/14/magazine/univ...
I live in a a rural farm land area, the only time I hear racist remarks of any kind is online, usually towards white cis men.
Just an anecdote, but IMO progressive liberals are some of the most racist people I've encountered.
I have family members who didn't like Obama at all, not one of them would ever comment on color, it was his policies.
As a brown American who has to carry passport the moment I step outside my house and hope that ICE goons give me the opportunity to show it if detained, I am all ears to hear about your experiences with racism toward white cis males.
First, I'm sorry you have to do that, it's not right. You blame your skin color for other problems, conflation.
