i sort of agree with the chicken farmer. what? i'm not biased.
i find racism naturally repulsive, but at the same time i don't know the most politically-correct people in the world either, so it's not like i crusade against it. if you want to dress up like a ghost and start burning crosses then that's your choice, and you will have to deal with any consequences that might come your way, just leave me the fuck out of it. that said, if i saw racism in motion (someone being verbally/physically assaulted because of their race or something), i wouldn't just ignore it. i wouldn't be able to ignore it. that's when my utter disgust reaction kicks in.
like when people tell racist jokes, i will be polite and not make anyone feel alienated (the fucking irony), but i still won't find it funny. if i start laughing at things i don't actually find funny in the slightest, i'll just be lying to myself as well as everyone else.
