Hello there,
I believe that we are all racist and it is impossible for us to fully comprehend the subtleties and idiosyncrasies of it.
I believe we can work to become more conscious of the subtleties of our racism but it is impossible to totally get rid of it. It seeps into and through every aspect of our being - we are so inculcated into the dominant discourse. It is also structural in our institutions, organisations and ways of doing things. If you haven't come across it, you might find the documentary 'Brown Eyes, Blue Eyes" useful if you want to work with groups to raise their consciousness about racism.
