When anyone accuses me of anything, I agree with them, neutering the argument they were hoping for.
Maybe he was doing that.
Maybe he was being sarcastic.
Maybe he was being honest.
Being of a weird mixed ethnic background that no one even talking face to face can figure out (only one person in my life ever correctly guessed where my eyes came from), I get to deal with PC SJW types who unknowling and smugly lecture me about MY own background. After goading them to the point that it gets boring, I tell them the deal, revealing why I knew more about whatever people - because it isn't from some Wiki entry they read, but my life. The best is yet to come as they not only not step back from arrogant know it all-isms, but now take on patronizing air, talking to me in a manner befitting the 'lowly minority' I now am in their eyes. So while appointing themselves champion of either of my widely divergent ancestral backgrounds, they dismiss me as lesser, thus revealing THEIR true racist attitudes.
I find people who act like they're racists often tend to be not so much as they claim to be.
Whereas those who act like they're against racism tend to be it deep down inside, hiding it from themselves with massive dollops of denial and from others with naive condescending platitudes.
Most folks tends to be racist to some degree.
On a forum on a music site (AltScene) I spend much time on with a mostly Brit & Euro membership, it cracks me up how the knee jerk equality toting liberals from there routinely put down Irish, Gypsies, and Jews (and strangely, red heads) like it was still 1933.
On Imgflip here we see the most vociferous Islamic apologists defend their adopted charges by bashing Christians.
Hypocrisy does not make someone a non racist.
So if this guy was honestly admitting to be racist, my kudos to him for at least having the decency and respect to be honest.
