Let me preface this by saying I do not throw around the racist card lightly. In fact I strongly support that saying something does not make you something, i.e. saying something racist does not make you a racist. You also have to think that way and have to have intent.

Now here is the quote that convinced me that he is a racist.

https://patreonhq.com/hate-speech-on-patreon-a9026e52c2cf

“I just can’t be bothered with people who chose to treat me like this. It’s really annoying. Like, I — . You’re acting like a bunch of n*****s, just so you know. You act like white n*****s. Exactly how you describe black people acting is the impression I get dealing with the Alt Right. I’m really, I’m just not in the mood to deal with this kind of disrespect.”

“Look, you carry on, but don’t expect me to then have a debate with one of your f**gots.…Like why would I bother?…Maybe you’re just acting like a n****r, mate? Have you considered that? Do you think white people act like this? White people are meant to be polite and respectful to one another, and you guys can’t even act like white people, it’s really amazing to me.”

 

Saying "Nigger" a lot doesn't make you a racist but it's obvious that this guy believes that white people are somehow superior to black people and calling white people niggers is somehow degrading because they're supposed to be better. Thinking that one skin color is inherently superior to another is pretty much the textbook definition of being racist.

Ooo he was inciting actually racist by calling them something they utterly hate?

This guy doesn't sound smart enough to actually use satire. In fact, if he was smart he wouldn't have phrased it in that way in the first place. The last sentence is pretty damning as well. But whatever fits your rhetoric I guess.
