Instead, what they often get are diet racists spewing statistics about black crime rates and how hard it is to be a police officer.

I’m not sure I’d call that “diet.” Maybe “full on fucking racists.”

Yeah I get what you’re saying for sure.

I say that because it’s normally people who honestly think they’re enlightened. But I agree, I just like the term.

Stats are racist?

Whenever I cite long-debunked and misleading statistics that reenforce my opinions as a racist piece of shit, people call me a racist, why do?

Ignoring a problem with certain cultures over a fear of being labelled racist is a problem too. See Rotherham scandal

Some people who haven't had contact with the justice system still trust it.

The problem is people like jontron, pewdiepie, and h3h3 are exactly these people but are seen as moderates. If nobody can be an extremist, then racists can only be seen as moderates, this normalizing these views and absolving people of responsibility

If you ask their fans maybe. Public perception is that all of those people are either thinly-veiled racists or encouraging those who are.

0 calorie racism, same shitty flavor.

Basically they are racists that get to act like they aren't racist because they have a million bad faith arguments to obfuscate their racism for so long that anyone watching would get bored. They are racists comfortable in the knowledge that they'll never get called out for being toxic shit. Just like diet coke.
