Bringing up racism in white people’s favorite escapism fantasy settings always leaves them reeling especially if they feel themselves as progressive in some manner. The headspace I get from them is “I’m not doing a racism myself just letting it slide from friends/family/strangers whenever it comes up, how am I the bad guy?” They more confrontational at being called racist than they feel like confronting the racist culture around them.
