    What about you say one thing but mean something different?

    “It’s not racist to be worried about immigration” - basically an excuse to be racist towards immigrants

    Or

    Or a recent one from the UK, “I agree with Just Stop Oil, but I don’t think they’re going about it the right way”

      I don’t disagree with your point about those who want the protestors to go away (and of course about the first dogwhistle), but can we please not compare just stop oil to immigrants, or the treatment they get to racism? The two are not comparable.
