Funny, because in the Bay Area, racism works in your favor.
IE - I am white. Yes, that means I am possibly not a reliable source of income (I don't live to work, I work to live), I am not thrifty (I don't mind renting, and I might take out a new car loan instead of buying cheaper used), my credit score is lower and I have no savings, and I will not hesitate to bring the law down on you (I know my rights!)
But my wife is Indian.
My actual point is racism is out there, and I think the most that can be done is racism shaming and try to work it to our advantage.
Studies show it is a natural part of being human - even babies show preferences based on visible attributes like skin color (I need to find that reference).
