I get that..

Problem is we are all racist to some extent

It's human nature

The issue is how folks act on that awareness

I try and look at individuals

..any suggestion to do something untoward, uniformly to any ethnic group, or subset of a specific ethnicity, triggers alarms..and reveals the proposers true beliefs

To suggest sending all black children of single mothers to orphanages is just too reminiscent of Swift's modest proposal

en.wikipedia.org

To the extent that was a serious suggestion, I'm not sure how you justify it
