ETA: if you find yourself wanting to argue further on this, I would recommend searching Stormfront for this phrase and then decide if you want to die on this hill.
If you are repeating talking points or rhetoric common on Stormfront...
I won’t go so far as to say “liberals are the real racists.” But I grew up as a brown kid in a 95% white Virginia town, where people were afraid to talk about or notice race. I never thought that 30 years later I’d be having attention drawn to my race in routine business settings in blue DC. I didn’t think Maryland liberals would be the reason my mixed kids see racial differences between me and my wife.
Urban liberals aren’t as bad as stormfront people, but they’re worse than “where are you really from” Iowa people. It’s not even close.
