I saw a racist poster on my local newspapers comments section refer to himself as a "race realist"..

When did the fucking Ku Klux Klan go PC? LOL

Guy:

"
There is a huge difference between a "racist" and a "race realist."

Furthermore, even if I were raaaaaaacist, whoever said that it was the worst
social faux pas? I rather think a person telling strangers to "suck a ____"
is much more socially despicable. It's definitely more childish and void of
intelligent thought. "

For the record, I didn't tell him to "suck a _____," I told him to "suck a camel's ______".

Over at stormfront, they've been calling themselves "racialists" for years now and arguing "there's nothing wrong with loving your own race!"

It's a smiley face for the bigotry.

Could you please provide a link to the comment so I can read the whole thing and appropriately respond?

I can't think of any context in which a person would use a term like "race realist" that is not racist and demeaning to people whose race is not in the majority. Perhaps I'm just not imaginative enough.

Would not be particularly complimentary to the white race.

Try pointing that out and watch heads explode. Nobody likes to smell their own bullshit.

The wide-eyed look in answer is always worth it, as I already know they know more assholes of their own kind than any other race.

I'm White, I know people of other races, some are family members, but I still personally know far more idiots of my own race.

But from a scientific point of view, there really is no such thing as "race"

"Race" actually turns out to be something like a myth or a superstition or an urban legend

On the other hand, unfortunately, racism, unlike race, really does exist
