It dawned on Steve Ramey in the aftermath of George Floyd's killing, as racial justice protests swept the globe.

"I'm racist," he admitted. "I don't want to be. I don't mean to be. I'm not trying to be. It's just the way I was raised."

Ramey is a 60-year-old white Renton resident. He said his racism shows in the jokes he tells and in the stereotypes he associates with people of color.

"If I see a group of white kids and a group of Black kids, I'm going to be more on guard with the Black kids," he said. https://www.king5.com/article/news/co...
