I think it is unfortunate we try to discuss such complicated issues in a fast-paced forum, which has little chance of success. My own take is . . . 10/10/16 07:32 AM

that Monte has little self-awareness to begin with. He's obviously not an overt racist and is understandably offended at the charge. At the same time, he drops comments here and there that reveal he's inherited a vocabulary that harbors a lot of racial assumptions. What got to me was how immediately he answered "he probably steals them." It just fell out of his mouth without any thought. And that's my point: Whatever bias or prejudice Monte may or may not have, it is unconscious and unexamined. He doesn't see it and feels no need to reflect.
All that said, the same (re subconscious attitudes) could be said about any of the HGs, or anyone in general.
