I realize you’re being snarky here...but do the thought experiment: if you were labeled a racist, and a lot of ppl believed it, would you really feel unconcerned about the effect on your reputation and job prospects?

Are you arguing that being called a racist would have no effect on someone's job prospects? Because I think you and your colleagues likely wouldn't hire them. That is clearly the effect. I also disagree that it'd be a good career choice for anybody. This all seems disingenuous.

Hardly positive if your original career is no longer open to you, and your only option is right-wing talk shows...

Well then that is obviously an invalid approach here. People are motivated to choose careers by more than just money. Otherwise everybody would train to be investment bankers.

Anyway, I actually think it's debatable that most who get publicly called racist will reap long-term financial rewards from this. Right now you can point to a few but unless they are engaging talk-show style personalities I don't see how they will make a career out of it.
