Sure proud racists as mentioned are obviously dead inside. Anyone who has the misfortune to be an audience to their rasicm should challenge them in the moment. It may stop them from approaching the next person and spreading it further.
Please do consider naming and shaming the company @dancing James it might seem trivial but might stop someone else using them.

Good to see the change in stance, his wife previously voiced negativity over Colin Kaepernick taking a knee perhaps they were confused by the faux culture war. The same one weaponised by people in the UK such as Tommy Robinson, Rule britannia row etc. Your link shows that the blm anti-rasism movement can change people's mentality.
Saw this earlier and thought might worth sharing.

Also always worth remembering what Diane Abbott and others went through in the late 80s when they first became MPs, including this astonishing 'logic':
Abbott was on a (Question Time) panel with the Liberal MP Cyril Smith, the Conservative minister Michael Heseltine and Andrew Neil, the editor of the Sunday Times. As ever, Robin Day was in the chair. The polls, Smith commented forcefully, showed that Labour was unelectable – “and one of the reasons for it”, he added, “is Diane Abbott and people like her”. The largely white audience applauded and after a moment’s delay chuckled, seeming to get some unspoken joke. Abbott called him out: “If Mr Smith believes that having black people in parliament for the first time is in some sense a backward step, thousands of people that voted for me in Hackney North would disagree.”
The response was immediate. For Heseltine, this was beyond the pale. Horrified at Abbott’s insinuation, he appealed to Day to intervene. The audience protested vocally. “I honestly believe,” said one white man, “that the vast majority of the audience here do not see Diane as a black person.” This went down well with the audience, as did his comment that Abbott was the panellist showing true prejudice, for assuming that white people perceived race at all. Day wrapped up the discussion by apologising to the audience for calling Abbott black – his implication being that, unless he had said so, none of the white people in the crowd would have been able to tell.
