I'd rather people be upfront about their direct biases because at least that can be talked about in a way that's actually grounded in reality.

Just assuming people are racist, or any kind of '-ist', is infinitely worse because it destroys any possible meaningful conversation. It instantly poisons the well, and ruins any chance of positive societal trajectory through public discourse. All you do is get people, even the ones who weren't actually racist, to dig their heels in.

Hell, I'm left-leaning, and the number of chromosomally advantaged dipshits on the left that are utterly unaware of themselves doing this makes me prefer the right being in power because it will almost universally provide a better starting point than working with the left, especially since I don't want to work from the "hurrr communism actually good" position half of these retards have now.

Am I actually on the right now? I can't even tell anymore. Words don't have real meaning these days.

What I do know is that the left have done more damage to minority groups' interests with the amount of pushback they've created than modern racists ever could have. There should probably be a lesson in that.
