I don't know about "seldom". For example, I have a feeling that many people who say "I think no one should be racist" do have in mind a world where others are prevented from being racist.
Not my impression, for what it's worth, but it's probably difficult to tell. (What evidence, if any, would change your mind? E.g., if someone asked a lot of such people and they all said that wasn't what they had in mind, would you believe them?)
Evidence would change my mind. I'm not asserting an article of faith, but a claim about empirical reality. Yes, appropriate polls would count (subject to the usual caveat that poll results are REALLY sensitive to how exactly you formulate the questions). And, of course my position would need to be better delineated and firmed up before it becomes falsifiable, right now it's kinda wiggly and fuzzy :-)
