Racist, But...

As people have noticed, "I'm not racist, but..." very often precedes racist opinions. Anyway, it would be sort of refreshing to see the reverse: "I'm racist, but the mayor ought to take a stand against police harassment of young black men."

Often times when someone says "Racist, but..." they are trying to rationalize their own prejudices and shift the blame on to someone else. An essay helper in Malaysia can provide a perspective of language and intent when analyzing statements in a discussion about these kinds of topics. Using other people's examples helps to provide insight into the implications of what is being said through language.
