If they were just discussing racists, why restrict it to just the conservative ones?

Currently, Yale and Harvard are before the US Supreme Court for anti-Asian racism — and they’re liberal aligned institutions. Similarly, the Biden regime and its anti-White racism in farmer subsidies.

Or, perhaps you could have just stated 'racist'. You did not, you explicitly named 'conservative racists'. If you goal is to be an unbiased actor, try thinking about it from both extreme biases for a thought experiment, then find your center. Or stay biased-not-biased.
