Racist
A person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
Neither speaks of degrees. Something is racist or it is not. I do think Dave is right in that perspective is essential. I don't agree with Delta. In his example both acts were racist. One act was not criminal, the other was criminal.
There are shades of grey in that given the surrounding circumstance the same action may or may not be racist. There are no shades of grey in that there are different levels of racism, though there are different types of racism.
Barr's tweet was racist, no more no less. I have no intention of agreeing with you. Truth be told, we have different opinions. I don't agree with your logic, you don't agree with mine. I enjoyed trading insults with you for a while. Yours were quite good and funny.
LOL!
The world according the spey:

Holy crap.
That should be a bumper sticker!
Thanks for the laugh.
Beers on me.
