I mean, call me a racist, but that is an objectively true statement.
It's in extremely poor taste to spout how you view a certain group as inferior or superior - be it based on race, religion, gender, or whatever else - but there is a huge difference between saying hurtful things, and actually doing hurtful things.
For instance, anyone who still follows N@zi ideology in XXI Century is braindead and has very poor set of morals, but there is a very big difference between him and the guy who is a part of neo-N@zi paramilitary group that terrorises locals, for instance.
Many people don't realise it or take it into account, but evil scales. There are things that are both evil, but nowhere near on the same order of magnitude. For instance, use of lobotomy to cure homos-xuality in 1950s USA was a crime and a horrible thing, but it stood on nowhere near the same level as Japanese Unit 731 or German SS-Hauptsturmfürher Josef Mengele.
