    Maybe... because they're intentionally creating a climate where they and their fellow racists can say any kind of despicable shit they want, consequence free, since it's "not racist" while simultaneously pushing the window of what's acceptable to normies further and further into blatantly racist territory? That would be my guess anyway.

      hmmm, good answer. I hadn't really considered that angle, only stupidity

        I'd bet stupidity plays a role at times too, but more often than not, when people spew that kinda shit, especially when they then try to feign innocence or ignorance, you'd better believe there's an agenda behind it.
