Collecting racial date on who uses what programs, applies for what schools etc is one thing. Affirmative action is another.
No, I don't walk around seeing race crimes every day. As I said before, it is subtle. It is my next door neighbor who was super nice to me and would wave, say hi and even baked me cookies when I first moved into the neighborhood then stopped speaking to me when I started dating an Asian girl because she doesn't think people should date outside their race. It's the guy I used to work with who was nice to everyone at work and got along with everyone then one day I helped him move some stuff into his new house and he told me he decided to not use a certain home alarm company because they sent a couple of black guys to do the install and he didn't want them coming back and robbing him.
I think if you dig deep and ask real questions you will find a lot of people you know have some kind of deep seeded racism and in many cases they may not even know they are racist because they have felt this way their entire lives so it is what is normal to them.
