passive racism

When a person believes that stereotypes, or a simple disqualification for a particular issue for any reason other than "race", is the only satisfactory answer as to why the issue occurs in the first place.

Ex: Excuse me for speaking the truth, but if more black men had fathers there would be less crime, and there wouldn't be so many of THEM in jail.

Oh, Donna, relax not every black or hispanic guy that walks by is waiting to mug or rape you; that's just passive racism.
