Though I do not fit in that category I totally agree.
People try too hard not to be racist that the act of putting down racism becomes racism itself. It's like ignoring the fact that a guy in a wheelchair is not able to walk and is in fact, in a wheelchair. To be so overly sensitive is offensive in itself.
I don't have this problem. Me and my friends call eachother appropriate racial slurs constantly. People looked shocked when we do it too, which I find hilarious, and all the more reason to continue. However I don't take it out of that circle of friends because, frankly I would get my ass kicked. Unfortunately I sometimes find myself leaning towards identifying people with incorrect stereotypes. I feel bad afterwards, but it definitely doesn't affect the way I act towards them at all.
