Are you seriously that inept? God, Sarn, you're not "above average intelligence" like you think you are. You're ****ing STUPID. Plenty of people are racist and don't realize it. They harbor all sorts of racists attitudes and don't think they're racist at all. A more clear example is sexism. How many times have you heard someone say something like, "I love women and I'm all for equality, but women and men are just different and women are better at certain things like secretarial jobs or being homemakers"? Those people don't believe those kinds of statements are sexist and they CLEARLY are. But they think they're shining white knights because the hold doors open for women.
You have the social awareness of a manatee.
