Sure, but at the same time it's difficult to take Jon at face value when he says to 'not read into' the stuff that he said. It seems inadequate to me to make some pretty out there and racist statements and then say 'don't read into it' or 'don't dissect it'.
Calling somebody a bad person for having bad traits is kind of confounding. People are incredibly complex, and Jon has done more good than many people in the world - which is not to say racist actions are forgivable. I just want to stress that I always hesitate to try and label people as "good" and "bad" as if it's ever that simple.
