The word “racist” is just being used as a shorthand about their beliefs.
That wasn’t evident to me at all, I was reading you as making an observation about racism in general. Sophronius clearly wants to discuss issues beyond those specific to Dutch politics.
Whether racism is about preferences or facts? Though there is a variety of definitions, I think it’s mostly about beliefs (which may or may not be based on facts and which may or may not be expressed as preferences).

OK. Thanks for clarifying.
