Aversive Racism 

1. a type of racism that occurs when a person sees a statistic and doesn't immediately assume racism is the reason for it

2. a type of racism that occurs when a person brings up any legitimate or logical explanation as to why there might an inequity between two groups of races (mainly one has to be white), that isn't racism

3. a type of racism that occurs when someone is being a critical thinker; (thinking is a white construct)

It's aversive racism to suggest that Breonna Taylor was tragically killed by cops because they were defending themselves after her boyfriend started shooting them, and not because they were racist themselves.

Wal-Mart is leaving Chicago because A) they want to starve black neighborhoods, or B) they're getting shoplifted into oblivion. If you think the latter, you're committing aversive racism.

You think our racial backgrounds aren't why you make $350K a year but I only make $250K, but think it's because you got 3 PhDs and I became a construction worker? You're using your PhDs to commit aversive racism.
