It isn't difficult to see, once you start looking. When racism is no longer overt (even though in many situations, conversations, and places it is very overt), you have to look just below the surface of a situation to discover it. Listen to someone's motivation, read the background to a story, or compare how one situation is looked at from a different perspective--or how a story is interpreted when it involves a person of color and a Caucasian.
Take this photo for example. Notice the difference between "looting" and "finding".
Unfortunately, once you start noticing the differences, it becomes absurd how often you see, hear, and witness it.
