Posts like this make me question your intelligence yet again. Racism is mostly a taught thing, where children are raised to hold certain beliefs. Most people, once they start gathering more life experience, grow out of it. It definitely happens during the college years, and as they get older and start travelling out of their small geographic areas.
Humans, of course, are complicated creatures. Some can be swayed into anything. The spectrum can be wide, just as areas like human sexuality, which is extremely complicated.
This idea that people can be talked into being racists doesn't make sense. I could read stormfront or any other virulent racist websites and not become a racist, mostly due to my age and life experiences. You can't talk me into racism at this point in my life. I think probably every single person participating in these threads can relate to that. The issue you morons seem to have is that falling on a side of an argument defines if the person is a racist or not.
For example, you not be racist and disagree with affirmative action. For people on your side, if I actually made good points and swayed someone from believing in affirmative action to them not supporting it anymore, you would only care about the end result, one less person supporting a policy in which you believe is morally correct. Obviously your side doesn't differentiate between the reasons behind a position, only the position.
It doesn't matter if you think Milo is a racist. He happens to fall on many sides where the racists do also. Anyone who falls on the side of not wanting Islam here is essentially a racist in your mind. The reasons behind it do not matter, all you care about is their overall position.
This, my friends, is why you people are looked at as morons and why people despise you so much. You MAKE people choose sides.
