Thanks flag. A discussion was had. Let's just say he started off with "I'm not a racist" and ended with a discussion where I think he recognized the weight of words and that some things are really inexcusable.

So, this is a bit embarrassing in hindsoght, but could you elaborate on what was discussed? My last roommate would do the exact thing with the same argument: "I'm not a racist." Despite using it to explicitly reference black people, when I hear that argument I can't help but be dumbfounded. Raging doesn't help the situation so I take the sloth's approach and back off to avoid blowing up on him. The weirdest thing is that it's coming from a fellow Jew of all people which gets me all the more riled up...
