I see your point.
If you allow dishonest stuff to pass because it combats racism, then there is a risk that you just paint SWJ crowd dishonest.
If racism is well enough hidden, I don't see the point opposing it anymore. I don't think people should be burned because of thoughtcrime.
We can agree that it's not cool behaviour to run around with plastick indian headress while high. Or dunkenly sing Elvis songs in karaoke. But I don't think it is immoral, and I don't think who does it matters too much.
