The interviewer asked what I would say to white people who believe racism isn’t a thing any more. I said Google is free. You created it; surely you can look it up.
It is the shortest answer in the video and the most dismissive thing I say in forty-three minutes, and I said it on purpose. Some questions don’t deserve a lecture; they deserve a search bar. The argument is not that the person asking is stupid. It is that the evidence has been public for longer than anyone alive has been alive, and choosing not to look is a choice.
Later that year, alone to camera, I said the same three words again, and I hadn’t softened them in between.
