I disagree. Most people are prejudiced within their own groups; that's the biological imperative at play. There is a problem with systemic racism and you're absolutely right there - but the answer to reducing systemic racism isn't to write angry stories about how evil white people are which is what the original author did - it doesn't add anything to the conversation and it doesn't forward the discussion. It simply signals to the echo chamber that you're having a rant and they should jump in and support you.

So yes, your snake and bunny analogy is apt, but the solution for the bunny isn't to go on the attack. The solution there is to reduce the total amount of venom. There are ways this can be done... here are some of the ways I'd suggest.
