Trust me, a real racist would not hold their true opinions back. Because people like that, they have no guilt. They don't see their sick opinions as incorrect...so if you asked that person up front. Do you think you're superior and/or deserve special treatment because you're a different race. They'll say "YES." And case closed. Otherwise, probably not and move the fuck on, and let people worry about real problems and not make up phantom ones.

This school of thought is irritating, and taken far enough can actually blind us to real prejudice. David Duke, Richard Spencer, Ian Smith, Cecil Rhodes, and PW Botha have all publicly denied that they are racists or hold enmity for other races, but it is plainly apparent that they are based on their words and actions. Publicly denying racism while still sponsoring racist policies is so well known [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Atwater#Atwater_on_the_Southern_Strategy]that political strategists outright admit they do it.[/url] As for JonTron, it's hard to get a set of opinions like that without at least being a fellow traveler in white nationalist circles, those particular talking points all originate from those corners and are vanishingly rare outside of them. Maybe it's a case of hanging out with a bad crowd rather than any personal racist impetus, but the intent behind those statements is clear.
