If it was really common would you be reading about it?
Yes, racism is out there. Yes, it’s sometimes outrageous. Yes, there are more racists than there should be.
But most racism is subtle. It’s a higher loan rate. It’s not landing a job you’re overqualified for. It’s being watched closely at the store. It’s being treated like you’re older than you are when you’re a child.
I don’t have first hand experience to speak of in this area but I’ve seen it. It makes me sad. People are people. We’re all just trying to get by out here, I don’t know how you could look at the state of things and conclude that it’s poor people of any color making things shitty.
If they’re taking your benefits or jobs, who hands those out? Is it the poor immigrants or is it the ruling class? People are out here so brainwashed they’re blaming people who are being exploited BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPLOITING THEM for their problems. Damn man it’s depressing.
It’s only even a political issue because that’s a great way to make people get mad at other people of their class.

Racism is a really great way to get the exploited to hate the “other” exploited rather than the exploiters.
