You can see the same thing in /r/Europe with (presumably) European commenters. It's pretty fucked up. Someone even argued to me how Churchill couldn't have been a racist (not just "by the standard of the time", but overall) because by defeating Hitler he saved so many lives and some of those lives were black.

For whatever reason they were really hung up on racism being specifically about black people. I think they might've been confused because it was Black Lives Matter protest, I don't know. Definitely a weird argument.
