And oh, I did say that the party was exclusionary, which cannot be defended.
Nope, not by any definition I've seen. Power dynamic is not necessary for something to be racist.

Racism is an attitude and nothing more. The power dynamic part is politics that gives an excuse to allow certain minority groups to claim they are not racist.

Racism to me is treating any race differently than other races.
