Now this I can agree with. But it's hard for me to believe that the people who are susceptible to these recruitment campaigns wouldn't still be racist in a "racism mask-on / civility" kind of society. I personally think the biggest difference is that there's way, way more outrage about racism in the "mask-off" version, and outrage is often necessary to effect change.

Nah, you end up radicalizing people like Wang with certain wedge issues.

You have to think of it from the point that the end goal is to influence the younger generation. If they see racism as something you aren't supposed to have in society, eventually society will change to reflect that value. But if young people grow up around open racism it becomes harder to actually purge from society.
