People's ends to a means do not have to meet our individual seal of approval.
I dislike the Occupy movement for various reasons, including the racial and social class dynamics. But I would not tell the people in the movement that they are pointless and need to shut up just because I think 95% of them are that which they claim to despise.

You are definitely missing something but you will have to research this on your own. The thread has reached its maximum redundancy and will self-destruct.
The only thing I care to say is stop throwing out the word "racist" ("racism") just because something rubs you the wrong way as it pertains to race and ethnicity. That simplifies and does a disservice to real instances of racial inequality and racial injustice (racism) for which white people are NOT the recipients 99.5% of the time.
