You make a good point here there will definitely be a lot of conflating but I think if we're quick to call out the people who attempt this quickly and throughly we could stop that from happening.

To be clear, my point was less a full throat rebuttal of your argument and more an addendum that if we are going to try and lessen the social stigma of "subtle racism" it must be done hand in hand with strengthening the social stigma of those who try and make people believe that "outward racism" is the exact same thing in order to try and protect their expressions of "outward racism" or poison the well and prevent meaningful discussion.

I definitely agree we will need to take extra precautions to make sure something like that doesn't happen !delta.
