Racism is subtle, it isn't just the words said, it's the way they are said, the look on the face, the roll of the eye, the local code words and the shared context of the speakers. Grim faced tolerance is not acceptance. If you have ever said to anyone 'wipe that look off your face' or felt discomfeted by someone's tone of voice you will know what I mean. If you are a person who claims none of these well documented human communicative cues matter than you've also got some well documented human disabilities or social skill problems. What is in your heart matters. Your lips can say 'I'm not racist' but the pictures in your head and the thoughts you run from tell a different story.
