    Not to be too cute but I have racist relatives. I'd like to think they aren't "deplorable" humans. https://twitter.com/GCEParker/status/775806724284571648 …

        are you seriously still trying to soften this? Racism is awful, evil and deplorable. Being common does not make it less so.

        I'm struck by how seemingly difficult it is for people to distinguish between "you said/believe [X]" and "you ARE [X]" (2/2)
