   "You and others: Ro is saying racists did blank. There are no racists.

   Me: How do you know there aren't any racists?"

   My issue is not that I don't think there are racists. My issue is that several of his posts are phrased as if *all* people upset at him for treating them unfairly, or criticizing his project, are bigots. Which is different. There *almost certainly is* a contingent of racist people harassing him, imo. The problem is that he didn't say "there are racist people using other people's criticisms as an excuse to be racist and harass me." He said something more generalizing.

   So for me it more goes

   Me & co: Ro said all the trans women who were upset with him about slandering them, and weren't sufficiently nice about asking to be taken off the slander list, were bigots

   Ro's defenders: so you're saying there weren't any bigots after him?

   @anarchopunk_girl @freakazoid Again though...

   You and others: Ro is saying racists did blank. There are no racists.

   Me: How do you know there aren't any racists? Did you ask? Or are you automatically assuming there are no racists in the trans community/in the groups for which we're talking?
