I think what Rob meant was that these asshats are doing everything they can to live up to the hype of being racists. And they're doing a pretty damn good job. There's no excuse for that. I read this earlier, and planned to disagree with your word choice of "hype." But after reading Amadan's post and links, I think I see why the hype/bogeyman descriptors are being used. I still disagree, because personally I want to be careful not to conflate these discussions--i.e., the discussion of racism and racist attitudes/actions and the discussion of hyper-vigilantism of SJWs (where, admittedly, breathing can almost be racist). In the case of the OP, the remarks were clearly racist, everyone seems to agree. And my concern is that where people feel so free to express such racist views, racist actions are more likely to occur. That is what is at the core of it for me, not because I'm crying into my pillow that someone called Michelle Obama an ape and people are being such meanie mcmeanies. Anyway. I will save further thoughts on the other matter for Amadan's thread, which I am still pondering over.
