In most people's minds, though, the word "racist" has a very different definition. And no one is exempt from or immune to it.
In some circles, a white person who genuinely believes in equality will be termed as even "more racist" than those who are blatant about it because he will be said to be in denial of his own racism, simply because he is white.
Sad but true.

Some people think that, it's sad, but true. Some people are flaming idiots: it's sad, but true.

Political Science courses will usually cover topics such as communism, socialism, and big government very lightly, but I don't think that they really indoctrinate any ideas about them. In the political science course that I took, with a fairly moderate teacher (thank God, because 98% of high school teachers here are wicked liberal) we barely covered thsoe topics, and there was no real teaching or even discussion of whether they were good or bad, just that they were. Granted, I'm in a blue blue state.
