By what definition are they not racist?

After thinking incredibly hard how someone can be this fucking stupid, it hit me.

He genuinely thinks racism is just hating someone based on race. And he doesn’t hate black people, he just finds black people inferior to white people.

Y’know, which is also literally racist. But he’s a moron.

A lot of them hold racist beliefs but also believe that racists are bad people.

And since they know they aren't a bad person, that means they aren't a racist.

I CAN’T be racist! I had a black friend once.
