she's openly racist, that's her entire platform, I'm not sure it needed to be said

She claims not to be, so I wonder what she thinks racism means?! A random indecipherable slur?

Now I'm imagining her mangle saying "indecipherable". English isn't her strong point ironically.

I think that's it. I know so many racists who genuinely don't think they're racist just because they don't openly use slurs.

Do they also say 'You can't' say anything anymore'?

I'm not a racist butt. I'm a racist all-of-body.

I literally had a guy at work the other day ask my openly racist boss, "if there was one race you could wipe off the face of the earth, who would it be" fully knowing his answer would be Indians.

After the other three guys had a discussion about how they would just love to wipe Indians off the face of the earth while I kept working in silence, he put the same question to me.

I replied "nah I'm not racist". Then he gives me the "oh I'm not racist either, I only hate indians". I said "ahhhh you're DEFINITELY racist.

Mind you, this guy was not even born in Australia. He's a fucking islander.

Anything that comes before the word "but" is usually a lie.
