    I won't define myself on the ideas of a self identified racist. Many people like that assume everyone is like them and just lying to themselves or trying to virtue signal.

    Though, like Avenue Q joked, it's very easy to have some ingrained racist views, and it takes work and introspection to resist it.

    (my comment was mostly joke-y bit)

    I know, I wasn't so much chastising you but more just speaking my mind. I was worried about being too serious in a joke context.

    And yeah, the basic patern recognition parts of our brain does make it easy to have prejudices, and makes it harder to not knee-jerk react. (Also forgot to mention I'm also a manga enjoyer. Reading at my own pace is much easier than watching shows that define the pace).
