It was implied in the "rogue's gallery" of racists and fascists you inserted Kant in, that the main benefit of studying these figures was to strengthen one's mind and arguments against their political and racist ideas. The idea that that is why we should study Kant is ludicrous.

It is *a* possible reason to study Kant, but to think Kant's most important ideas are inextricably tied to his biological racism or to think of him first and foremost as a biological racist is just silly, no matter how many people can get professional traction by claiming it.
