I have to admit I am quite intrigued by your ideology and feelings: it seems that you are acknowledging to hold racist beliefs but at the same time it bothers you to be called racist? May I ask why?
The reality is that I get called racist regardless of what I do so I've accepted it.
> you should have tried to have this conversation with us years ago instead of just calling us racist.
That is to say "instead of working with us to find a solution you simply dismissed our ideas (by labeling them racist and refusing to think further.)"
