Also, some of these cats in the Military have legit not interacted with other races, especially black people. They come from places with a 10-15k population in the ass-crack of the United states. Basic training and tech school being their first real interactions.
They legit grow up +18 years of media and generational racism. I've met plenty of enlisted people who are like, "Yeah my family is super racist. If it weren't for the military i'd probably still believe in some of the shyt they talked about."

bytch, you 9.9/10 racist your damn self

Imagine growing up hating a race that you've never interacted with before when history shows who the aggressor was.
