RE:”FWIW, I do think that demonstrating no racial animus toward one minority racial group is circumstantial reason to apply it to the question of racism in general”

I don't see it as much.
You don't have to hate every group but your own to be racist. A racist may just hate one or more specific groups,
He obviously likes the group that he interacts with regularly, illegals from Medico. And has a low opinion of one he doesn't interact with regularly.

The only thing that qualifies as racism to me is animus toward another race because they are part of that race.

Therefore, it’s entirely possible to be untrained in proper rhetoric and not be a racist. Likewise, you might be able to say all the right words and still be a racist.

To me, racism is about hatred going on inside your heart.

From my reply to Skeeter a few posts back:

“Racist” is an overused word, and I won’t buy that product.

If Bundy were to pull out a Klan hood and robe like that Esteemed Democrat Senator Robert Byrd...

...or, if he suddenly decides that he was an ardent admirer of the racist Nazis - like that Esteemed Democrat Joe Kennedy back in his day....

...or if he decides that he supports racist Nazi Gun Control laws SO much that he writes them into law - like that Esteemed Democrat Senator Thomas Dodd did in GCA 1968...

...well, THEN I’ll call him a racist.
