Racism is never acceptable, true. I also believe people have been racist towards her in her life. And I am pretty positiv this is a narrative she is spinning to gain votes.
For all I care she can pound sand and yet I’d still defend her against racism any day.
But you are wrong that her politics don’t matter. Her party is actively working towards a more intolerant society and racism towards her is a the natural consequence of these politics. You can’t stoke a fire and then complain it is burning things.
It matters because when the racists see what their own policy is like when used against them, it helps shapes their understanding of how and why racism is bad. Unfortunately most racists are dumb cunts who can’t figure out how to breathe without reminders so racism is a tool here, much like them.
Having read the article and a few others about these incidents, I can’t really see that anything recent is racially motivated. Unless they are just withholding pertinent details.
Doesn’t matter what her politics are - racism is never acceptable

Yeah I should have phrased it differently.
Yeah insult her for the parts of her that’re bad, her race isn’t a problem and shouldn’t be targeted

Maybe if she wasn’t standing for a party that is actively fueling a zenophobic culture war, people might be more sympathetic.
