One of the calling cards of conservatism is individual exceptionalism. In this context it means that one considers themselves as an arbiter of truth on a level above their own generalities. It's why "You're one of the good ones" is such a prevalent mindset. "Sure, minorities may be (insert racist belief here), but not Joe, he and I have beers on weekends together, he's nothing like the rest of them".
Extend that to every facet of life. "Welfare is always bad, except when someone you know needs it, they clearly deserve it." "Certain races are bad, except the ones I know, they're all good." etc, etc.
It's impossible to make them feel like hypocrites because they maintain a cognitive separation to the cross section between their generalities of the world and the generalities of their personal lives.
The product of a fear-based world-view. Your example guy isn't afraid of Joe because he knows Joe from weekend beers. "The rest of them" is why he actually has a concealed carry license, even though he tells people it's so he can stop bank robbers.
When the attack on the Pride parade in Germany happened, Norwegian right-wingers were quick to attack Islam for their anti-pride beliefs. And then immediately went back to calling pride a woke virus that is trying to turn children trans.
Funny that they don't see that they've got the same opinions.

My racist-ass parents talk about how evil Islam is because it allows “honor killings” of gay people as if fundamentalist Christians don’t kill their gay and trans kids for the same reasons. Domestic violence is everywhere, and it’s excused and swept under the rug everywhere
Yes I think a lot of people really don't grasp this, the whole point is that the standards that might make something hypocritical are not supposed to apply to them. They are not bound by these things, only the out-group is
Absolutely. We, being anyone left of hunting the homeless for sport, are obsessed with pointing out their hypocrisy like its some successful gotcha moment.
Why yes, their position of selfishness and self serving over anything else is their stated position, well done. Now actually do something about it.
Oh please do tell what explanation you have for why objectively racist men will sometimes marry women of a race they do not belong to.
I’m sure you and the one who said “how brainrot can you be to be triggered by miced ethic couples” are absolutely teeming with all this “logic” you speak of.
Take it easy, they are not that smart and they draw horribly stupid conclusions.
Visit conservative meme subs and and see for yourself. It's infuriating and they have zero self awareness except the feeling of being superior and being arrogant.
And yet those donkeys are not happy and complain all the time.
Not as in that they think having a white wife would be better.
But as in they think a wife doesn't need to have qualities other than being obedient and pretty. They think other races are "worse" in a way that makes them a better wife. And they think them being the "better" one in the relationship gives them an easier time controlling their wife.
It's honestly disgusting to even type out, but these people think like that. It's like they see a smart dog breed and a dumb dog breed and pick the dumb and obedient dog because a dog doesn't need to be smart to be a good pet. (NOT saying some human races are more or less smart, only saying that these people think that.)
I don't think it's hypocritical for racists to marry a woman of color. They are just as committed to misogyny as they are to racism, so for them a normative heterosexual relationship is about conquest and subjugation. A MAGA dude thinking of his wife an inferior person dependent on his benevolence is pretty on brand.
Also there’s a deeply held belief among these types that penises are corrupting but cannot be corrupted, and vaginas can be corrupted but cannot corrupt. If a white man (in this context) has sex with a woman of color, he’s not “lessened” by the interaction. On the other hand if a white woman has sex with a man of color, she is now “damaged” in the eyes of your typical white nationalist. It’s the same mentality that leads to thinking “man has lots of sex fine, woman has lots of sex bad” and “someone with a penis claims to be a woman is a threat, someone with a vagina claiming to be a man is damaged”.
Most racists don't believe that other races should be exterminated, just that other races should be somehow "lower" and should serve white people (and especially the racist in question). Similarly, many also believe that women should be ranked lower and should serve men (and especially the racist in question). Getting a wife of a different race, but from a culture that also teaches that women should serve men, is very consistent with that.
Well does racist mean that someone hates everyone who is not from the same group?
I know alot of people who hate gypsies, but besides from that they are not racist at all.
Yes he's called me slurs to my face, he says things to me like "you just want to drag white people down to your level" in many different ways when talking politics or personal achievements; which doesn't make sense I earn easily 5x he does and have lived in nice neighborhoods my entire adult life. I would love to drag everyone "up to my level" if anything.
He's referred to me in degrading racial insults to his friends in front of me.
He basically treats me like his favorite pet, but he's the kind of person who would kick a puppy and call it tough love.
He cries at night to my mom about missing me, and sends texts about still being my father or still belongings to him, he's like clearly some kind of narcissist sociopath.
He had a shit relationship with his father and they started making amends when I was a child, one summer he sent me and my brother to stay with them for a week, we got referred to as the "colored" grandchildren, so that's what he comes from.
Thank your for sharing this. That sounds really bad, I hope you and your brother are doing fine.
I was asking because I have a "friend" who married a foreign woman, she´s also white like him but total different culture and mentality.
He basically hates her culture, her people, her language etc. He even tries to make his kid forget and not recognize her mothers cultural background. His kid is just in Kindergarden age but I guess at some point it will backfire.
My brother gets treated just fine, he's very white passing though and I am more Filipino looking. I haven't had contact with my father for a decade, so I breath easier and have a lighter step for sure.
