It's your perception that she says racist things, so you don't get to decide that she is and doesn't realise it. What matters is what she knows is in her own heart and mind.
Just because someone is against mass emigration and certain religious practises doesn't automatically make them a racist. Someone would have to make a very strong insult or definite statement against another race for me to go down the road of calling them a racist, mainly because I think the word is slung about far too often nowadays. It is belittling and diluting what real racism is.
People can have some negative views of certain aspects of other people, of other religions, of other races. It's allowed, it's called individuality, it isn't horrible and it isn't unusual. Different stokes for different folks. It's human. I wonder what they say about us...hmmm...lol
I personally am strongly against racism, and I honestly don't see Brillo, or anyone else on this forum as truly racist.
Now, if they spew venom, incite violence, hurt, kill or maim in the name of their views, that's a whole different thing.
Pertaining to religions - what do you think of the way the Christian religion and a belief in God is mocked and thought of as hilariously stupid by many on this forum? I don't recall you having a problem with that or have I missed it?
Brillo doesn't mock, she states her views in a respectful way and therefore deserves respectful dialogue in return, even if those views are not to someones liking.
