So it's a made up term from people who want to discredit people they don't like by calling them "secret racist" without having any proof.

- joe_mamba 9mo agoYeah but calling someone a racist is a serious accusation, you better bring receipts or be liable for defamation. Calling them a "secret racist" instead isn't the workaround that absolves you from this.
- tptacek 9mo agoYou cannot in fact be made liable for defamation for calling someone a racist. (Patrick, a close friend I have known for many years, is not a racist.)
- dragonwriter 9mo ago> Yeah but calling someone a racist is a serious accusation, you better bring receipts or be liable for defamation There are a large number of countries with their own systems of law, and its possible that in one of them calling someone a racist might be subject to defamation law, but in most I am aware of that's going to be a problem because its not even a well-enough-defined fact claim to be legally true or false.
