Growing up, I never thought of myself as racist. In fact, I thought of myself as fundamentally not-racist. The neighborhoods I lived in were always somewhat diverse, and my mom, my sister, and I all have friends of color. I have black cousins and Chinese cousins. My parents raised me with good values. “Never judge anybody by the color of their skin,” they said.
