Hm, no wonder you're sympathetic. Lets try again with another group. Say
a North Korean ship accidentally killed some friends of yours. Would you
then think all Asians are inferior and deserve to be killed? If they did

No, you're missing the distinction between racism and bigotry.
I am selective in my prejudices, not racially biased.

I have a different Jewish experience to Larry's, and I have many Jewish
associates and friends but as I said, I understand why he is of the
opinion he is.

So, your experiences with people who have real cultural differences is
helping you understand someone who is racist. That makes no sense.

You just denied you would do what a vile racist has done and then used an
explanation of what you would do to say you understand the racist.

I understand why he's angry.
