It's just how we've grown up and how popular culture works.The important thing si for us to realize that we are not our hobbies. Something you like can be racist without you being racist as long as the racist part isn't what you like about it. Look at the works of Lovecraft: it's just plain built on racism and classism, but people like the nihilism and spooky deep sea imagery and they're not racist for that. Or Mickey Mouse, born in the mage of the Minstrel Show.Where problems happen is when people can't just listen to criticism of a thing the like without taking it as a personal attack and coming out with HOW DARE YOU CALL ME RACIST.</blockquote>
