Does anyone differentiate between a person who is racist [defined as a character trait or flaw, impervious to logical argument against] and an individual who occasionally expresses sentiments that can be interpreted as racist [but whose racist statement can be answered by counterfactuals leading to a change of opinion]? I don't see how we can have a intellectually rigorous discussion without awareness of that distinction.
