It's possible that they are more vocally anti-black, but it has been my experience that hateful people are just full of hate. They go after the most convenient target, and have no problems with changing to another target if it is just as convenient.
You are lucky enough to not know enough racists because there are plenty who restrict all their hate to one category of human.
Don't I wish. Frankly, I envy you your optimistic faith in humanity, but it seems a little naive to believe that someone who irrationally hates a group of people for some imaginary reason won't just find another group and another imagined reason if the original group was to be removed.
That's a weird sort of if considering that's not really something that happens. I have no idea how you could even prove that, for example, someone who hates black people would start hating Asians even though they had no issue with Asians before if all the black people on the planet vanished.
It sounds like it isn't me that hasn't been around enough racists. Once you have lived long enough to see the demographics of places change, you will see the target of the resident racists change.
