    yeah but you shouldn’t use racist logic to fight against racists, because there’s always the implication that sorting by race is somehow useful or good

    and of course racists will always backpedal and shift the goalposts, so while there is a need to clarify, you really shouldn’t argue along those lines

    the real impenetrable argument is “everyone should have food”, upgrading to “everyone should have enough good food” when they’re being a pedant. they’ll still argue with it, but at least you’ve made your point clear. it’s not like american racists care about their image anymore. nowadays they’ll probably just say no to that in an effort to look cool and powerful.
