For Louisiana? More or less spot on
East is far more racist than the West, if we're going to split this into areas.
Racism exists. The term has been bastardized to include shite that has nothing to do with race however. Some people see racism at every turn, and that tells me a hell of a lot about them

Because we live in a very prejudice society whether you believe it or not.

I agree
Although some people play willfully ignorant to it and it reveals a good deal about them as well

Amen to both of these statements.

I guess a person is allowed a few rapes before they're labelled a rapist. Right?

It exists. It's prevalent in some areas, however it's overused (as a word) and at risk of losing meaning.

Just because someone drops the "n" word in 1 conversation doesn't make them a racist.
Yeah, you kinda are if you've used the n-word even once.
But so what? Everyone is at least a little racist. But there are levels to this. I have racist thoughts but I don't tell them to others, use slurs or make jokes. Others may do so, so they're a little more racist than I am. Others join clubs and groups because of their beliefs, so they're more racist than the last group.
Some kill others because of what they believe. That's probably the highest level. Some people just have a problem with thinking they're being grouped in with the worst racists imaginable, so they tell themselves they aren't racist at all. It's not all or nothing.

No. Rape is a criminal act.
Racism is largly opinion based.

If you drink 1 beer a week you aren't labeled an alcoholic.
I'll be the first to tell you that the racial rhetoric is beyond out of control... But don't ever say the "n" word man.
Everybody gets that.

On the other side, some of those frickers really are racist and don't want to admit it, so they complain that "people are so quick to call them racist" and play the victim in that way.
Wrong. People that are racist want to shout it from the rooftops and admit it but they can't because if they did liberals and SJWs would do everything they could to hurt them and get them fired. This means they are attacked and could lose their jobs if they speak up and if they don't it is only because their free speech was suppressed by SJWs and liberals. So......they HAVE or WILL be victims no matter what just for holding certain thoughts and the ones doing the victimizing are SJWs and liberals.
