Which of the following actions would you expect to be labeled as “racist” by a normal person?
1. A woman notices a man walking in her neighborhood. She makes a mental note that his race is different from the people usually seen walking around in this area.
2. A woman is engaged in conversation with a co-worker, who responds by saying “Yeah, sister, I understand what you mean”.
3. A man comments to another man at a club, “You’re a good dancer”.
4. When asked what he would do as “immigration czar” of America, a young man responds “deport them all!”
Stumped? The answer, according to the interviewees in Craig Bodeker’s documentary A Conversation about Race is every situation except #4. Startling? On its face, yes. But VDARE.COM readers shouldn’t find too much comfort in #4. Here’s some extra information: the woman in situation #1, the co-worker in situation #2 and the compliment giver in situation #3 are whites while the noticed man, the “sister” co-worker, the dancer in the club and the potential immigration czar are black.
Now it’s not so surprising. Even #4’s immigration czar would be easily identified as a “racist” if he were white. But he’s black—so he can’t be a racist!
(Don’t laugh. Obama Attorney General Eric Holder has just testified that only whites can be guilty of hate crimes).

The term “belief system” is used intentionally, since the interviewees say that racism is “all around them, everywhere all the time” and yet are unable to come up with any definition of the word or examples of it in action.
Peter Brimelow once defined a racist as “someone winning an argument with a liberal”. Well, as Bodeker discovers, that’s just the beginning:
