So the answer to the retreat of racism in some parts of society is to invent new forms of it? Because if white people were to stop being racist, then you would have to own your shortcomings, instead of blaming them on others.

I have to ask: do these people actually have a problem with your skin, or is it that you yourself don’t feel comfortable in it? Because if you did, you wouldn’t feel driven to pick up on all these ‘microaggressions’, or treat what might be genuine compliments as veiled condescension.
