If I say something is not what you accuse it of being, it does not mean I am defensive. It means I disagree. It means I have considered both sides of the issue and concluded that you are wrong.
Our justice system has many racist elements.
I do not think saying Islam has a problem with violence is racist.
Racism is a huuuuge, multi-faceted thing. I will agree with you on numerous things being racist, but on others I will not. I will disagree. Each instance in which I disagree does not put me into DeAngelo’s “defensive” bucket any more than each instance in which I agree makes me one who generalizes that everything is caused by racism.
Again, you have to assess these things event by event, issue by issue, etc.
