There are things all of us will and will not tolerate or will or will not find offensive. If you consider racism to be offensive and intolerable, then it will affect your perception of a person who so blatantly displays his racism. Are you really being just as hateful and awful as that person because you expressed outrage at his actions?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
