    My point is that the first is independent of the second two.

    … so compassionate racists too??
    Yeah, I don’t think so, not really, the least thinking pleb.

    You can lack compassion and only care about yourself while also not being racist.

    Hm, not really in practice - the argument is valid only on theoretical, isolated personal level.
    But that’s is not how racism works/exist, racism is a systemic issue.

    If you are “not racist” (~don’t have those prejudices) but people around you are … and you are selfish & without compassion then it is in your best personal/economic/social interest to act just as racist as the rest, so “not racists act racists and participate in racist activities” (and especially not speaking against racism, at least not unless/until you can monetise it).
