The racist in me

There’s a racist in all of us. You just have to put your ear to the ground and listen carefully and you will find it in you.
I discovered it playing Scrabble. Of which I play a lot online.
If the player is from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Africa or any East Asian country I expect to beat them. Easily.
I am fuming if I lose. Not because they are better, but because I expect I will know more English words than people from these countries.
If the player is American or Aussie or British losing is more palatable.
That’s racist.
