Correct, but excluding those segregated neighbourhoods in the rich part of my town white people are the norm and blacks wandering around are seen as potential criminals - This also means blacks are associated with poverty. I know that perspective shifts, but considering the average citizen white is seen as the average, and is represented as such even in the media. Even a black friend of mine, upon being asked to describe the standard person, thinks of a "middle aged, white, clean shaven man".

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
