This entire "you're racist if you use this line" is stupid. Think about it.
"I don't hate <X> group. I'm friends with someone who are a part of <X> group." Should be a definitive that says "I don't hate <X> group because I have proof that I'm friends with someone who's a part of said group."
What you're doing is twisting it around to make them say "I hate <X> group, but I'm pretending to be friends with someone who are a part of <X> group to deflect my hate of <X> group."
What you people trying to see racism in literally everything are doing, is making a Catch-22 *_**where you can never be NOT a "racist"_*** by your dumb definition. You're trying to catch people in a trap where they can never escape the stigma of your accusation. I guess all interracial friendships are meaningless now and everyone should stay in their own racial group, since it'syou ecantirelyworthlnessver to be friends with psomeoplne outside of your racialown group and not be considered "racist".
