But there are also individual members who may/do hold racist views, and because the non-racist members don't push their position and insist on showing good leadership, the racists are more influential than they ought to be.

It isn't. The covert form is a lot more common.
Plus, EW is probably unlikely to say these things in real life around people who he knows doesn't hold these views. He knows social cues just like almost everyone else does, which is why all -isms have mostly transformed from the "Archie Bunker types" to something less obvious.
I agree 100% with your post.
