AOC and her boyfriend discuss "combating racism as a white person" on Instagram

While answering questions from curious social media followers, 30-year-old AOC brought boyfriend Riley Roberts, 30, in to answer questions in a rare appearance for the Washington D.C. couple.

Roberts took the lead when asked to share tips on combating racism as a white person.

Roberts said: ‘I think it’s helpful and important to talk to other white people about racism, and I think a lot of people, they don’t want to be racist.’

‘They don’t think that they’re racist, but they also don’t know some of the things they believe or say are, and can be, racist.’
