Latent racism

Appertaining to the post below southozbloke makes an interesting comment to which I reply:

My mother once told me that she was very impressed with Dr Hedley Beare, who was for some time I think Director General of Education in the Territory.
Her abiding memory was of him making the observation that "Everyone is racist!"
It is of course so obvious that we almost don't realise it. It was reiterated by my friend AndrewKing, who has very keen insight into such issues
