37. They act shocked because they don't see what they do to be racist.

Like they don't see what they do to women to be sexist. They see it as normal and far from offensive, since the people in their circle laugh along and support their antics. It's when they're shit is public they are surprised by the backlash. My friend from Georgia asked his father once to cool it with the racist jokes and his father says...this is what a group of white people do when they get together. To them it's normal. Hence the shock is not by their actions, it's by the reaction to their actions.
