And I'll add that if you bend over backward and twist yourself into a logical pretzel to defend racists from being called racist because of their racist words and racist behaviors and racist outcomes and racist supporters, then you're most probably racist too.

Like the people who defend Eric S Raymond's racist edge lord bullshit because they think he's just trying to show off how clever he is to say manifestly racist shit to provoke people and then trying to talk his way out of it by accusing everyone of being less intelligent and open minded than he is.
