Not you specifically, Brewer, just following the patter. When I ask myself why I don't become a racist, not being called out as a racist doesn't even come up. The fundamental humanity and similarity of people of other races does. What is that saying about this hypothetical person you're talking about, if that doesn't register for them?

Just pointing out a potential reaction to extreme labeling.

I understand, but given that the logic that would cause one to come to that conclusion reflects a set of racist beliefs that were obviously already held, I think the issue isn't one of becoming racist, but enabling passing, casual racists to up their ante now they no longer fear social censure.

It's taking the leash off a dog that already exists, not creating a dog, essentially.
