I think of white supremacy as like a religion tbh, all of us (by "us" I mean everyone, not just white people) are subjected to a degree of indoctrination of it from a young age. As we are products of this, I think it's impossible for anyone to not have said or thought a racist thing in their lives. That doesn't mean we're inherently bad people, it just means there's a lot of shit we have to unlearn.
It's "I'm not racist, but..." and some of the shit that, as a white person, I'm privy to hearing other white people say when there are no black people in the room. Part of the problem is that people (especially white people) are more scared of being seen as bad racist people than they are of actually dealing with the problem, so they deny it exists. It's very deal with the symptom and not the cause.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
