Quoting data and analysis from subject matter experts is what I do in my stories. Unless you can present something of similar weight to counter it, I think that you are just spouting from your own subconscious places, my friend. It is a well established fact that most racism (or discrimination of any sort) is not overt, but comes in the form of unconscious bias.

"It is important to note that biases, conscious or unconscious, are not limited to ethnicity and race. Though racial bias and discrimination are well documented, biases may exist toward any social group. One’s age, gender, gender identity physical abilities, religion, sexual orientation, weight, and many other characteristics are subject to bias.

Unconscious biases are social stereotypes about certain groups of people that individuals form outside their own conscious awareness.

Everyone holds unconscious beliefs about various social and identity groups, and these biases stem from one’s tendency to organize social worlds by categorizing. Unconscious bias is far more prevalent than conscious prejudice and often incompatible with one’s conscious values. Certain scenarios can activate unconscious attitudes and beliefs. For example, biases may be more prevalent when multi-tasking or working under time pressure."

My aim with this story is not to denigrate any of the work that has been done to rectify racism. It is to point out how that work will never truly come to fruition when we are only working with the tip of the iceberg (our conscious thought). Until we deal more fully with all of our unconscious bias, it will continue to twart true racial equality.

And for your information, I am not a young person. I'm 56 years old.
