At this point anything and everything can be linked to some 4chan whatever. The dog whistle argument has been over used to easily lump language into the same bucket as the reprehensible rather than read the thing with the nuance that is reality. It isnt a binary, it isnt racist or antiracist. Insensitive, stupid, and bigoted usually are hit before full on racism.

Sadly, racism along with so many other isms have been so watered down to the point of being completely meaningless.

When i saw the title i knew people would be calling this guy racist as if he said blacks were an inferior race rather than saying the most milquetoast of statements.

We need to start using rpg systems with our hate speech. Am i a level 5 racist because i dont find Scott Adams even remotely offensive? Am i a level 10 communist because i want universal healthcare? Or does that make me a whitemage?
