What is Low-Key Racism?

<a href="https://medium.com/u/c8e5d4980403?source=post_page-----6f90cb9cc93e--------------------------------" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Allison Wiltz</a> ’s article <a href="https://medium.com/writers-and-editors-of-color/when-white-people-try-to-hide-their-racism-they-use-these-phrases-f82d6cfe84f3" rel="noopener">When White People Try to Hide Their Racism, They Use These Phrases</a> got me thinking about all the ways that some white people try to avoid talking about racism…and why. By “some” I mean my family, the suburb in Washington state I grew up in, and people like them I met in community college in Washington state — and elsewhere. Once I attended The Evergreen State College in Olympia, I found a community with different rules, and now I live in south central Kentucky, where the rules are different again. I’m going to cover four related topics: what low-key racism is, my personal experience with low-key racism, the motivations of low-key racist people, and the lingering effects of low-key racist people on me. The last part I’m including because I want to bust the myth that white people can opt out of the race issues in America. <a href="https://medium.com/counterarts/what-is-low-key-racism-6f90cb9cc93e">Website</a>
