71. Well, I guess I could point out that being afraid of

brown people using your tax dollars in emergency wards is a legitimate fear that doesn't necessarily take into account facts or any kind of awareness of how brown people feel, cope or manage. Or, other examples in the same vein.

There's a lot of hysteria and mistatement and misinformation floating around here at the moment.

But, yes, it is perfectly possible to forward an argument that is, at bottom, racist and to be unaware of it.

If I wanted to call out a racist, I would just do that. I haven't.
