He's being practical. If someone doesn't like you, it's better to be safe than sorry. But I suppose you think it's ok to hate all Russians. And anti-vaxxers.

But I suppose you think it's ok to hate all Russians.
And anti-vaxxers.
And Trump supporters.
This racism nonsense has been created mostly by the media.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoYet Adams doesn't argue to only avoid people who say "it's not OK to be white". He says white people should avoid black people in general. It's reductive to the point of being a racist conclusion itself. Such sentiments led to white flight and red lining. Things which only reinforced a system already stacked against people of color. And his conclusion is based on mixed results from a poll asking a very loaded question. So as logical arguments go it's flimsy at best. I'm not advocating hating anyone, implicitly or explicitly. It's disappointing when people disagree, yet not a reason to hate them personally--even when their ideas are destructive or hateful. Of course there are times when it is best to disengage, yet that doesn't excuse bucketing whole races or groups of people. Each person deserves to be heard and considered on their own merits, or not heard based on their own behavior.
- ihatepython 4y agoYes in a perfect world that would be nice. But in reality, it doesn't work that way, and it will never work that way. I don't actually care what Scott Adams thinks, I enjoyed his Dilbert comic back in the day, I didn't know that it was still around with new material. The point is, Why is the media giving him attention as such? Because it serves their agenda of PROMOTING racism. The people in power LOVE RACISM because it keeps people divided and fighting amongst themselves. The problem is the media.
