Yes, that would be racist. I wouldn't taint the rest of the BWA because of that, though.
1. a group acts to perpetuate negative racial stereotypes.
2. members of that group act in an overtly racist way
can we legitimately defend the rest of the group?
(However, I will give you this. I am sure there are members of the BWA who aren't racists. As well as some who have deluded themselves into thinking they are just pretending to be racists.)

Not that I condone whatever comments were made but it is a PRIVATE forum.

The fact that one of the leading provacaturs came out as a blatant racist ends all doubt in my mind.
continue to defend them if you like.
