Assuming he doesn't actually think you're racist, he sounds like some white people I used to know. Blacks this, blacks that, and then you point out a good person that they're friends with and you get "oh, he's different". Or 40 years ago "he's black, he's not a ******". No different from a black person talking about "white trash".

Yes, it's a generalization, but my grandfather once told me that a lot of white southerners don't like the black race but they love black individuals. In the north white people claim they love the black race but they don't like black individuals. There's a lot of truth to that, especially in areas like Baltimore.

Sounds like this guy has the southern attitude about white people, or at least white Republicans. If he doesn't know them, they're probably racist. If he does, then they're different from the rest of the racists.

Interesting and I've never heard that but makes sense.

I've learned that racism is a diminishing occurrence. As much as you want to make it a binary issue, either on or off, that isn't the way the world works. If you look back at each decade since slavery was ended, racism has become less and less of a definable problem. So much so that race instigators are fabricating how something is racist because it's something a minority will be harmed over, yet it isn't really geared towards any race. The rules apply universally. Wearing trashy clothes to school is a good example.
