I think you’re the only one taking it as “hinging on.” Most people are taking it as “Person is against X but also chose X” (where X itself is a bad thing). Headline makes it clear he’s both a racist and a hypocrite. Both are important to know.
It’s not a matter of being “right” or “wrong.” If a headline causes ambiguity or people to question the thrust then it needs to be improved. It’s not a yes/no situation. It’s an iterative process. You’re the one trying to make this binary.

If the thought occurred to me then I’m probably not the only person who thought, which means it’s a valid critique of the headline.
That’s an impressive way of sticking to your guns when everyone is disagreeing with you. “If I thought it then others did, so I’m not wrong.”

It’s a matter of you being a moron. We get it.
