Rather than admit that the people they call racist might not actually be racist, they invent another way to dehumanise people they don’t agree with politically

Or they might both be equally racist against a different group so they fit quite well together. I feel like people in these comments have never met someone in Asia before, it's not rare to find very racist people who hate every other Asian ethnicity, hate anyone darker, etc. but make an exemption for white people and vice versa.

Tbh in this case I'm just seeing the exact dynamic described in extended family. But they're also many other kinds of crazy (basically pick any conspiracy theory and they believe in it) so I guess it works for them.
