"Racist Like Me"

From Slate:
In a nation riven to its very core by race, I appear to be the only remaining racist. Off and on, I'm homophobic and anti-Semitic, too, but mostly, I'm racist. Yet unlike the rest of you, I'm honest about it.
Kind of interesting article from the other side of the race divide, so to speak. She's right though—I was almost ashamed to begin reading the article, to even entertain the notion that someone who admitted to being racist could have anything worth saying.

Hmm. I guess it also depends on what your definition of a racist is.
Many feel that simply recognizing there is a difference between races, is, in itself, racist.
I think if that's your definition, then we are all racist.
