    I'm curious why someone who "didn't grow up racist" was so defensive of the so-called white race to begin with? If a greater percentage of people are non-white or mixed in the future, it's no skin off your back unless you're already a bit of a white supremacist.

        You can only be racist if you come from the Race region of America, otherwise you're just a sparkling bigot

      Americans by and large think it's unfair to call someone a racist unless they're already wearing a white hood and shouting slurs

      Thank you, I was gonna say this same shit. It doesn't actually make sense, like how tf can a person claim they were never racist but also be so proud and defensive about whiteness? So much so they were moved by obvious propaganda made by white supremists to make them feel like they and other whites are losing some imaginary war of races. He absolutely had to have some prejudices in order to believe less white people and more mixed people is bad specifically for him and other mayos. If you're not racist this shit shouldn't matter at all, it has no effect on their own personal life unless they genuinely dislike anyone not white.

      Part of me thinks it's a ploy to garner sympathy. Like you know some libs gonna read that and be like, "if all these other races didn't exist he wouldn't have felt compelled to shoot people!!!" Therefor race mixing is bad or whatever absurd reasoning.

        These people don't really have the self awareness to game the system. If they did they'd grift like Ben Shapiro or Gavin McInnes. People who go down this rabbit hole actually believe the things they're saying. So when they say they don't think they're racist, they don't actually think they were racist. They were just liberal or centrist and didn't think about race all that much. That being said, liberal politics is built on racism. So when you start to peel off the surface layers the ugly parts start to show. He's not trying to garner sympathy so much as get others on board with his ideology. It's in the same vein as the "you're all deluded sheeple" spouted off by reactionary atheist bros in the early 2010s. He thinks he took the red pill and other people should too in order to protect their self interest against the "hordes".

        part of me wishes white genocide was real, the other part thinks forcing someone to live is bad.

      Exactly, many times I'm one of the few, or only, white person in an area or room and it doesn't matter, at all. What weirdo thinks that matters? I mean we know what weirdos think that unfortunately, but still
