If you indirectly contribute to terrorizing people based on race because you provide aid and comfort to a racist, are you a terrorist?

Could you please not post flamebait and/or unsubstantive comments to HN? It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.

I think in that case the person is a racist. I find the label and term terrorism extremely troubling as it always can be spun as "what is a terrorist in one group might be the freedom fighter to the other"

the label terrorism is usually only successful in the most homogenos and brainwashed cultures, where all complexity and nuance is stripped away. it's great for propaganda or when you need to criminalize a whole society of people.
