Agreed. This ranks us there with the commercials being run targeting young people about so-called unknown racism where people supposedly say things like "Where are you really from?" and "Can I touch your hair?". I've NEVER even thought those things, let alone said them to anybody.
If someone says they come from Phoenix, and they have a Boston accent, I can see someone asking the question, “Where are you really from?” It would be an imprecise way of asking why the accent? Whether advisable or not, racism?
Why is everything racism? It’s just plain crazy talk.
