P: I don't think I want to go there on Boxing Day. It's going to be filled with aggressively cheap asians clambering for the same television. They're all too eager to get their hands on a remote control so they can cover it in plastic wrap when they get home.
I: Wow, that was pretty racist.
P: My family is asian though, remember?
I: Yeah, but you're adopted. I don't think you can claim the racism rights for that.

Literally EVERYTHING is racism to you. I see what you're talking about but it's a broader issue and your solution only fixes the problem for SOME of the black people (Of which I AM in case we forgot who we're talking to) and the underlying problem will remain.
Hym "So let's say you get your way. Let's say in your autistic need to get the rates of things to match, you succeed and the adequate number of black people, women, ect... What then? The person who inevitably replaces them needs to be black.

Does this only apply to appointed positions or do we need a proportionate number of elected officials? All black primary? Should only black people vote? How could a white man know who could best govern as a representative of black people? It's retarded and it's based on an a priopi presupposition that a black person would govern or make decisions in a black way and that they would promote other black people instead of doing what the people currently in power do (which is shamelessly promote themselves). Which is racist. It's retarded and racist. I want them to do it. No, really. I want them to do it so that when nothing happens, you have to sit there and look stupid and explain to me why it didn't do anything. It's nothing more than politic tokenism. 'OoOo Look! It's superman! But black now!' 😱 And I'm supposed to sit that and be like 🙌🤨 'Hurray?' But what does it accomplish? Nothing. An entirely cosmetic solution to real world problems. It accomplishs about as much changing your skin in a video-game. Guaranteed employment for a handful of random black people and everything stays the same for everyone else... including other black people. Your 'Fixing systemic racism'thing is pointless. It's about as pointless as going to space (And I'll explain in the next one)."

A type of racism where people don't appear on the surface to themselves to be racist but advantage by and may support racist policy and institutional racism. A asymptomatic racist may justify such behavior under another guise of supporting policies such as law and order (to support LE officers profiling, selective enforcement of laws, brutal and inhumane police tactics), the right to protect one's self when threatened by people who are stereotyped as threatening, to win the war on drugs, and to assure people don't have unfair employment opportunities, against welfare because it destroys the incentive to work, assume some people are characteristically inferior, unfair business practices that target minorities, living in like minded highly segregated communities, etc.
Another asymptomatic symptom is when they do not say anything or attempt to prevent racist practices, and often have a personal benefit from allowing them to continue.
In some cases asymptomatic racism may be highly viable to the victims but not to those of the same race. For example, when someone touches their wallet when they see a minority, when a black person is not invited to a party because they may not fit in, when a person of another race is not given a supervisor position because of potential conflicts.

Arguing with someone with asymptomatic racism is difficult since they don't experience it and can't comprehend what a victim of the racism go through. However, they may actively resist any attempts toward equality or mitigating past racist practices such as affirmative action.
