And I say countless Americans, because when you really think about the history of Americans expressing racist ideas, supporting racist policies, you're really talking about a history of people who have claimed they're not racist, because everyone claims that they're not racist, whether we're talking about the Amy Coopers of the world, whether we're talking about Donald Trump, who, right after he said that majority-black Baltimore is a rat and rodent-infested mess that no human being would want to live in, and he was challenged as being racist, he said, "Actually, I'm the least racist person anywhere in the world."
Y digo innumerables estadounidenses porque si realmente pensamos en la historia de los americanos que expresaban ideas racistas o apoyaban políticas racistas, en realidad, estamos hablando de personas que históricamente han afirmado que no son racistas. Porque todos afirman que no son racistas. Sin importar si hablamos de las Amy Cooper del mundo, o si hablamos de Donald Trump, que inmediatamente después aseguró que Baltimore, de mayoría afroamericana, era un desastre infestado de ratas donde ningún ser humano querría vivir. Se le recriminó que era un racista y afirmó: "En realidad soy la persona menos racista del mundo".
