No. I don't espouce extremely racist opinions.
criticize away, you usually do...
It's OK. Plenty of racists don't see themselves as racist (it's "normal"). Plenty do, of course--they are very proud to identify as that way. I think a great many more, probably not all that, at least intentionally, racist, still speak in extremely racist terms, either through ignorance, habit, both.
meaning: even if you aren't explicitly or purposefully racist, it is very easy to constantly espouse racist views, and speak in racist language, defending profoundly historical racist policies, because the words have changed to describe the same thing. (obviously, these words are intentional. It's called dog whistling).
This is the kind or racism that owns the GOP. It has owned the GOP since the mid sixties, and has never left. All it takes is a little self-reflection and self-criticism. But that isn't a trait that is valued in the GOP, so these people aren't really recruited and are actually actively shunned from registering as republican.
