That's the soft racism the elites practice. Just stand behind one sometime as they:

harass the counter help as they pick up their overpriced garb at a Chinese laundry
try to buy an Evian (and a lottery ticket) in a hurry in a Spanish bodega
have a snit with the Eastern Euro maitre'd at Le Circus

That kind of bigotry is a direct hand-me-down from working lo those many years with Tip O'Neill's cabal...

We lived in CT for over 40 years and the subtle racism is just as you described, all committed by the self-named 'elites'.

My husband retired at 55 (I'm considerably younger than he is) 6 years ago and moved to South Carolina. You know - where every white person is assumed to be racist?

Interestingly enough, what I have witnessed is the exact polar opposite of the racism I've seen up north. The races treat each other with such dignity and respect - polite, sweet, talking with each other.

It's been an eye opener and pleasing to watch.

I had a Jewish customer of mine who is extremely liberal start talking politics with me one day. She was astounded to find out I was an NRA member (I'm nice and I'm reasonable therefore I must be in agreement with her, a mistake most people make at one time or another) and actually said "so you want people to own Saturday Night Specials".

I told her to "be careful because some people know the history of that phrase and it originally had the "N" word in front of it and they might think she was a racist, even though I knew she wasn't"

She then said "So I guess you're a Republican?"

I told her how I was conservative and a conservative's only home in today's world was the GOP.

Then she followed that up with "I guess your Anti-choice?" "Yes, "I'm Pro-life" "So I guess you don't care if all those Black girls have unwanted crack babies."

I always knew that Liberals have a racist streak running through them because of their low expectations of minorities but that a was almost too much for me to take. Remember I was at work and I couldn't very well call her a Klansmen or something as I'm not self employed.

I did tell her she should check out Jews For the Preservation of Firearm Ownership.LOL

I don't think I made a dent in her but I keyed up her quarterpanel good.LOL
