What's the difference between being racist with the intent of offending ("triggering") people vs just being racist?

Isn't most racism done with the intent of making the target uncomfortable or offended? Like isn't that the entire point of racism? The KKK wasn't burning crosses to be friendly.

I'm sure most KKK chapters were actually satirical, totally-not-racist, KKK chapters. It was that oddball 1 in a hundred chapter that crossed the line that gave the rest a bad name

/s in case it's needed

Making people uncomfortable. That's a really mild take on the whole KKK thing. Feeling very charitable today, are we?

The difference being that I'm burning a cross in my front yard to keep my family warm because our heater is broken.
