Regardless of whether or not that's the correct term for DHH....

    real white supremacists they are a magnitude more 
    scary and dangerous than DHH's dopey opinion
I would like to caution you against the use of the term "real" white supremacists.

Are you imagining a "real" white supremacist as guy who burns crosses, is covered with racist tattoos, and openly spouts slurs? Because the effective and dangerous ones are a hell of a lot more stealthy than that.

Racism in general, including white supremacy, is more accurately viewed as a spectrum and not a binary racist/non-racist divide.



> viewed as a spectrum and not a binary racist/non-racist divide

That's exactly my point why I suggest not watering down the term white supremacy with "I hate this annoying opinion when I interpret it maximally". Calling DHH a white supremacist is silly.


He went on the Internet and said London is worse because it's less white than before. That's at least mild white supremacism
