The word "racist" is just being used as a shorthand about their beliefs.

That wasn't evident to me at all, I was reading you as making an observation about racism in general. Sophronius clearly wants to discuss issues beyond those specific to Dutch politics.

Sophronius' desires aside, I am interested in your thoughts about knb's answer to your actual question.

Whether racism is about preferences or facts? Though there is a variety of definitions, I think it's mostly about beliefs (which may or may not be based on facts and which may or may not be expressed as preferences).

OK. Thanks for clarifying.
