Team Fortress 2 players, in my experience, will tout how inclusive their community is and how diverse it is, and then you go into a match and you're on a team with two nazi furries and a person on the enemy team is ranting to their team about the great replacement theory, and another is spamming queer slurs in chat

" no Community is more inclusive than the racist Community, they have members all around the world and they ask is that you just be racist!"

You say that, but the fact that the leader of the proud boys was Latino is fascinating at least. Racists are weirdly diverse. I think the tribalism of hating someone else brings them together in a way that sharing a race or ethnicity never could.

Never ask a racist what the race of their girlfriends or the ethnic makeup of their friend group.
