You missed the point. It was to show that personal experience may be misleading in trying to gauge the level of racism anywhere.

And my prejudice is against being biased in any direction: both against denying racist implications and against seeing them in every single case, both against ignoring racial issues and against swooping down on people who believe that all lives matter (like that NBA announcer).
