    Exactly it’s important to acknowledge the different ways of how racism can show.

    It’s quite possible the person didn’t have a malicious or racist intent at that moment. It’s still racist and people need awareness to tackle that subconscious racism. That’s why talking about it and bringing it to the news is so important.
