You have known your neighbor for decades. During this time, his business was successfully sued for discrimination. He ran an an ad in the local newspaper claiming some local black kids suspected of rape should get the death penalty, and still believes they are guilty despite them all being fully exonerated years later. He spent the Obama years claiming Obama was born in Kenya, and even ran ads in the local paper where he claimed to have evidence that Obama was not born in America - he never actually provided that evidence. He held a neighborhood party where he announced to everyone that Mexican immigrants were bringing drugs, were rapists, were not like us, but he went on to say that he assumed some of them were good people. He was sued, and claimed the judge in the case could not be fair to him because the judge was Hispanic. He retweeted white supremacist propaganda on numerous occasions, and though he has never openly praised white supremacist groups, the local white supremacists absolutely adore him. He holds neighborhood rallies where white nationalists distribute propaganda, but he never calls them out or asks them to leave. He has told minority Americans to go back to their countries, despite them being American citizens.
However, when a white supremacist went on a shooting rampage, he condemned white supremacists when you talked to him about it.
Given that, would you consider this hypothetical neighbor a racist or not?
