Absolutely no one is discounting these people. These people are deluded about their own racism. If you don't can't see clear racism, then you are okay with racism.

If the definition of racism includes not paying attention to it, I can’t argue with the first point. I’m not conceding that definition, but I’m not arguing the definition and I see the heft in that argument.
The second group? I disagree. These people really believe he’s not racist, and that the fake news is making it up. It’s seriously pathological, enough that you can’t really consider these people living in reality.
