@futurebird I'm not even going to grant the leeway that some are "damn strange."

I pass because unlike my siblings I am pale skinned. Because I pass, people say wretchedly racist stuff in front of me -- and I watch people who think they aren't racist/claim they aren't racist just stand there, mute, if they don't bob their heads in agreement.

These same people may sway if put on the spot but they never question their own behavior or stop racist behavior in front of them.
