There's Richard Spencer racist
There's MAGA racist
Then there's the "Yeah, I like Trump's, uh, economic policies, wink wink" racist
There's "hmm, maybe we should forget multiculturalism and be like the nordic/asian countries with token/non-threatening levels of diversity"
Then there's playing dumb about racism with whataboutisms because you see it as a zero sum game and need the status quo to hold onto any advantage in life.

You forgot:

"I can be racist against any groups I want provided that in my eyes they are powerful enough that they can take it, and besides I see myself as a minority so if they call me on it, they're the racists ha ha ha ha"
