poliphiloI understand that racists are not necessarily bad people- just frightened ones- afraid of difference, afraid of the unfamiliar.
This doesn't mitigate the fact that racism is profoundly stupid- and destructive of civil society.
You have racist views. Fine. Please keep them to yourself.
But if you talk to me in ways that assume that I share your views don't be surprised if I take it as a personal insult.
