Now it is easier for you to find one.

Unfortunately, there is a kernel of truth to what you are saying. There are some who too quickly dismiss racism and bigotry. It is easy to get defensive on this topic and people have different life experiences here, some of which are more eye-opening than others. Statements like yours though play into the defensiveness and undermine real racism and bigotry by being over the top.
