Ehhhh. Depends. In the past, I wouldn't have appreciated if people called me racist because I know that they call me that entirely on their perception of racism + emotional reaction. That they find me to be racist does not equate me actually being a racist (in the terms that they use it in). 

It's like... there are 2 definitions for racism. A textbook definition - and an emotional/subjective definition. 

But nowadays I have found that when I get called racist, sexist, or anything like that, it's a delegitimization attempt/strategy (a pretty good one). When you call someone racist, then their views are automatically disregarded, because if they are then their point is base on the hate of an entire group of people. 

Hence when I look at JonTron's views, all I see is him saying things. Calling him a racist won't change the things he's saying but it only delegitimizes them under false pretenses (emotions, not arguments). 

So, by now, if someone says I am racist, I just agree. Fuck yeah I'm racist. I see tribes of people. It's human nature. It's up to you yourself to challenge that and overcome it - and yes that includes black people who want to segregate themselves, and yes it includes white people who don't acknowledge that in the US there might be systematic ways where black people have a harder time doing things.

But people don't want that because challenging yourself is hard and blaming others is easy.

So we've confirmed Jontron is a racist then?

On another note, you can't say the things he said in any working environment without getting in trouble. Jontron isn't his real name, it's his job. He's just so happened to make his job being his persona. This is like every other celebrity ever.

So did he deserve to be pulled off that game? Yeah, of course he did. He should know by now the things you can and can't say in business relationships and the things he can and can't say if he wants professionals to want to work with him. Unlike other jobs though, he wasn't fired and he still makes the same income. So he got off easy. Unlike most of us, he can spout all the shit he wants with the most minimal of consequences.
