That's dead fucking wrong. I'll call people racists all day long.
Tell a racist joke? Racist.
Sentence the black kid harshly while the white kid gets leniency? (I've seen this up close a bunch.) Racist.
Exclude other races at work because you're not comfortable with them? Racist.
The list could go on forever.
Half the fucking justice system is racist. If you don't believe me, talk to law enforcement sometime. Talk to prison guards. Talk to probation officers. The racism drips out of these people in every other statement. I'm happy to generalize a bit there because it's so damn pervasive.
Are some comedians trading on racism? Hell yes.
But do I infer racism quickly? No. I wait for proof, as is required before making any inference.
