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.
One specific reason I deliberately included Kant is that I think it's a mistaken genealogy that sees liberalism as totally unconnected to racism & white nationalism.

I didn’t say you said that was the only reason to read these authors, but you made a list for a hypothetical curriculum of white nationalist and fascist authors, that is, authors who are part of the genealogy of white nationalism and fascism, and you included Kant in that canon.

Yeah, if you want to understand white nationalism and fascism you have to understand the intellectual roots of biological racism.
