One thing I've found that bothers the fuck out of liberals is when I call Joe Biden a racist genocidal asshole. They are outraged by this - the idea that some privileged white guy who grew up surrounded by whiteness - born during World War 2 - could have a racist bone in his body. But they are outraged by it.
They never have an answer though - as to what non-racist explanation there is for his role in the genocide of Gaza. How a person who values Palestinian life at all could continue sending the bombs that are incinerating it.
Also, as good liberals, they acknowledge that racism still exists - just that none of The Good Guys are racist. Joe is a decent man - therefore it is impossible for him to be racist. There is an explanation for why he keeps supplying the arms that he acknowledges are killing way too many civilians - no one knows what it is, but it is totally not racist.
He's a racist. And until we address what that means - and what racism in general means and what impacts it has on society - racism will continue to have those impacts on society. Impacts like this:
