Are most white people racist? (15)

Dalton writes that most white people tend to think by being white means that they are not Black or not Asian and that whiteness itself is nothing special (15).  I think Dalton is right about that but I don't believe this makes white people racist.  I agreed with the decision we had in class about people being naive instead of being ignorant.  I also agreed with the concept or act of micro aggression.  For a list of privilege...it's pretty hard to think of these privilege's because I believe it happens or I view it subconsciously and not even see it as a privilege.  However, I did take my puppy to the park today and there were 7 white children and 1 black child and the only one scared of the dog was the 1 black child. I couldn't figure out why that is??
