I currently live in California and I have.

And speaking of race, I have also had conversations with people who think that only white people are capable of racism, and in fact that racism is not about hate solely on the basis of race but that they have now (without realizing themselves) redefined it to mean hate or "unfair" actions strictly toward a minority group or perceived victim group. In other words they have taken this concept of systemic racism (something based on power and the path of history) and made the short circuit conclusion that that is the only type that exists.

The idea that one group of people is singularly capable of racism is incredibly racist and ignorant of history (and the present lol)

Can verify. There are plenty of ppl who truly believe these things, especially in and around well-off liberal cities.

And it goes beyond social media brainwashing, there are research papers and books promoting these ideas. I guess it comes from liberal arts academia?

Very dystopian and surreal to hear people talk passionately about it. And usually it’s not worth trying to point out the “War is Peace”-isms, they will default to labeling you a Nazi.
