well, if odoso meant "racism in-toto" then, yes, that is an error. racial bigotry is alive and well everywhere I have lived or visited, from all groups and against all groups.
however, if odoso meant "tolerated, legal, institutionalized racism" then... there is some merit in that position.
I'm not shocked at all that the liberal rats would use the 'turnabout' is fair play option as far as racial preferences is concerned.
