fight racism by being politically correct about exactly where that racism exists..? Seriously, say some damn names. Or is your kids’ safety thanks to these well kept secrets and other minority or mixed race families need not apply?
Could very well be an Onion article. It sounds as if she's been totally unaware that there's been this issue since before America was even colonized, regardless of race.

Actress Charlize Theron said in an interview that she has considered leaving the United States for the sake of her adopted children due to increased concerns over "racism."
"I don’t even know how to talk about the last year under our new administration. But racism is much more alive and well than people thought," she told Elle Magazine.
Theron said due to the current political and social climates in the country, she wants to ensure her African-American children, ages six and two, feel safe.
"There are places in this country where, if I got a job, I wouldn’t take it. I wouldn’t travel with my kids to some parts of America, and that’s really problematic," she said.
"There are a lot of times when I look at my kids and I’m like, If this continues, I might have to [leave America]. Because the last thing I want is for my children to feel unsafe."
Theron, 42, was born in South Africa and grew up during the country's apartheid era.

Does she really need to name names?
At least she did have first hand experience with white privilege, tbh...
Y'all get seriously worked up over celebrities. Maybe take a break from FOX Insider. The quotes around "racism" in the first sentence should be your first clue that you're reading a site designed to appeal to your indignation.
Is it really that vague to you?
Google Pixel with my Google feed. It was tagged under United States of America. Right below the blizzard warning and above a football story. When you assume that I'm a fox insider die hard reader, your jumping to inaccurate conclusions. Much like a racist would do based on the surface.
Or should I take a break from the fear mongering Google?
White privilege is term popularized by an idiot women studies student. She wrote a ty paper and idiots ran with it.

She need not say anything. But since she felt compelled to, yes I want specifics. How do you address a problem if you aren’t even capable of acknowledging it? Just seems like a broad brush to paint with.
I didn't assume you're a die-hard reader, but you were impressed enough by the journalistic integrity that you started a thread with the article when your intelligence should have been insulted by it.
I also have a Pixel. The feed aggregates stories that your search and internet history show you have specific interest in. Have you been looking at Charlize nudies recently?
Take a few guesses what a mother of black children might be worried about, and which areas of the country those concerns might be amplified.
Or, if you're really that interested, I'm sure the Elle Magazine interview that this article was written to get you all pissy about will have more details.
You need a screenshot dumbass? I stated what the tag was already. Your sure that's the angle you want to go with?
Never had any problems ever because of race. Then again, I don't hang out where I OBVIOUSLY shouldn't.
I also don't go to a liqour store at 1am in the morning. Don't drive around at 3am.
You think every article has a single tag? You think your interest in the United States of America is what prompted Google to serve you this specific story?
Google obviously thought you'd be especially interested in Charlize Theron's thoughts on racism in America, from a FOX Insider perspective. Looks like they were on point.
I was being sarcastic, but she did grow up in South Africa during the white colonialism (aka apartheid)
If she says 'Texas', then she's generalizing, because peeps would quickly run to point out Austin as an exception and mecca of hipsterism...
You can't win that battle, tbh... but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be talked about.
And you can prove that? Do you want a screenshot of my feed serious also? Wouldn't you know, she doesn't show up in either that or my Google ad profile (just looked at it a few weeks ago)

Getting pretty desperate there trying to peg me as a huge Theron fan.
Spurminator has a conspiracy theory so far fetched he has indicted Google into purposely mistagging a topic, and hiding the interests to force me to scroll past a story that only a fox fanboy would see otherwise. Tell me, do you believe the world is flat also?
Honestly, not surprised Google raised that story, they know what you ate this morning, tbh...
Plus, nothing wrong with nudies, IMO
I'm married with children. I'm not a stranger to redtube but to discredit a thread based on what and how it came across me is rediculous.
I didn't expect the Charlize nudie remark to set you into such a spiral tbh.
Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's some kind of wild and sinister conspiracy theory. All I'm saying is the articles you see in your feed are based on a variety of interests. There's usually not just one tag in each article that's relevant to you.
It's not a conspiracy and it's not a theory.
I'm not discrediting your thread based on how you got the article, I'm saying it's a stupid thing to care about at all and especially from the specific source you quoted.
The discussion over Pixel's newsfeed could have stopped after one or two posts if you wanted it to.
by some measures, Austin, TX is the most segregated major city in the US.

Four of the ten most segregated cities in the US are in Texas:

Austin's African_American population is declining:
http://projects.statesman.com/news/economic-mobility/Austin, once considered a safe haven for freed slaves, has become the only one of the country’s 10-fastest growing cities to see its African-American population decline [from 2000-2010],
Racism is everywhere where there are different races coexisting.
