Even if someone is legitimately racist, that doesn't necessarily mean they are an idiot. Just saying, a lot of racists are pretty smart people. Most racists I've talked to find a reasonable basis for their racism. At least they are consistent, can't be so hard on em!

In fact, screaming at a racist calling them racist will just make them madder. And probably a little more racist.

These people think racists should be killed. Remember that guy who worked for a landscaping company and he made monkey noises towards a BLM protest? These people think if you're racist you shouldn't be allowed to cut lawns. By their own actions these people show that they're totally okay with condemning working class people to a lifetime of poverty if they hold some icky views that make them uncomfortable. Stripping working class people of their jobs and middling income was once a universally agreed as an attack by the left (think union busting and whatnot) and now it's a totally legit thing to do to their perceived enemies.
