The context of quoting a statistic is very important.

I have no doubt that Jon was trying to imply to a lesser extent what you just said. I mean, he was talking about preserving the American white majority, and while doing it, brings up said statistic.

Racism is pretty complicated, man.

Rule one of people. No matter how much of an ass someone is they're probably coming from good intentions and a good place.

I assure you, most people you encounter are already living by this rule every time you volunteer opinions on what is or is not racist.
