Your clip has that sentiment too though... ' EVERYONE is a little bit racist' , did you just need it sung to you?
Was the fact it was a white elderly academic woman suggesting it that made it unpalatable?

You wouldn't know would you?... you haven't seen them both.

"All white people are racist" is silly as "all muslims are terrorist". I wouldn't sit through a video arguing for either, but I'd read a summary

Headlines and soundbites are all you ever respond to rather than something substantial.

Either that or you did watch it, have no rebuttal so are choosing to respond to only the one phrase.

There's no reason to take what she has to say personally.

I didn't watch it because I don't need to be told I'm racist, I know I'm not. If you think you are, then that's on you

The "one phrase" is her hypothesis, and it's not one that could have convincing reasoning behind it.

It's not all about you, Oliver.

Great, then you must be one of the people she says "taught themselves". By focussing on the "headline" you've missed her argument entirely.

As for your second sentence....

Did you not listen to the song?.. EVERYONE is a little bit racist.

Exactly, she's blaming the education system for what they teach rather than the students who go through that system
