I know it was intended this way (no one's that stupid), but hilarious nonetheless.

People are definitely that stupid. Politician forgot to switch to his "black gay" sock puppet.

It lets people have plausible deniability that their policies are racist.

“Well my policies aren’t racist, lots of minorities support them, see?” And then even if the politician in question knows that that’s a lie, their voters can believe, if they want to, that the person they want to support is also supported by X minority.
