An algo or human being can only identify something as undesirable based on social norms of the times... There are many socially acceptable groups and ideas that have fringe or even mainstream elements to them that have undesirable elements that are simply tolerated. And often the implications of socially acceptable ideas is not fully understood when they are in vogue, and their critics are labelled as simply hateful bigots that are not progressive.
But really it's impossible at any given time to separate wheat from chaff and ideas mutate so that racial hatred becomes cultural hatred which still maintaining similar elements and a similar out-group vs an in-group. Is that crypto-racism? Maybe, you can never tell as it's like fashion oblivious to those who live in it... because you can only see it through the lens of its critics.
