I can see that, given the percentages. But we are not all racist assholes (I am white and over 50). My mother, who is very old and white, is very much against racism and would have just about killed me and my siblings if we had been expressing racist ideas while growing up. She would not have tolerated such nonsense at all. But not everyone is like my mother.
And yes, racism is silly. I normally use words like "stupid" and "idiotic" to describe racism. But "silly" works, too.
