"If you said that about a black person you'd be a social pariah" usually works for me but I don't know if it's different over there in america. Pointing out that what they're saying is literally identical to anti-black racism is usually a shock to the system but tends to sink in at least a little bit.
i said that, and he said "no i love black people" and continued spewing the most vile, nasty shit
honestly witnessing the frictionlessness of this kind of socially acceptable racism really makes me wonder just how thin the taboos against overt racism actually are. like white americans used to just say that shit about black people all the time what, 50 years ago? and now supposedly we're post-racism because they learned that you can't say the N-word?
