So I guess the KKK isn't racist. Interesting...

> "We're not racists," Chambers told CNN Monday. "We just want to be with white people. If that's a crime, then I don't know. It's all right to be black and Latino and proud, but you can't be white and proud. I don't understand it."

That statement is not racist. I doubt that statement is the full extent of the KKKs racism...

I don't know. If someone told me "I just want to be with white people", I would think they were racist. That said, the word racism definitely has multiple and nuanced meanings at this point, so it could be more a part of my interpretation than the more established official definition.

Of course, there's nothing racist in that statement. Their actions don't seem to be in accord with their words, though.

Indeed. I think you can safely label a person or an organization if their actions are predominantly racist (like, oh, public lynching of minorities).
