Not if it's more common that people have personally experienced it with white people saying said racially charged comments. That's not to say that black people don't. I know my family isn't the most supportive of interracial relationships (I'm black). So it goes both ways, but it seems as if white people are more open to expressing their dissent. (generally speaking)
