Huh, what definition of "racist" are you using here? Would you describe von Neumann's proposal for a pre-emtive nuclear strike on the USSR as "racist"?
I'm not sure what you mean by "racist", however is your claim supposed to be that this somehow implies that the conclusion is false/less likely? You may want to practice repeating the Litany of Tarski.
It's basically about putting a low value on the life on non-white civilians. In addition "I would do to foreigners, what Ann Coulter would do to them", is also a pretty straight way to signal racism.
I haven't argued that fact. I'm advocating for having a broad number of words which multidimensional meaning.
I see no reason to treat someone who makes wrong claims about race and who's personal beliefs cluster with racist beliefs in his nonscientific statements the same way as someone who just makes wrong statements about the boiling point of some new synthetic chemical.
So would you call the bombings of civilians during WWII "racist"?
So you would agree that there are some statements that are both "racist" and true.
What do you mean by "wrong"? If you mean "wrong" in the sense of "false", you've yet to present any evidence that any of Satoshi Kanazawa's claims are wrong.
Rather than using the ambiguous word "racist", one could say specifically that Kanazawa is an advocate of genocide.
As I said above, did the bombings of civilians during WWII constitute "genocide"?
