37. He definitely comes across as a racist.

I always picked up on the misogyny, and the Islamaphobia was too blatant to ignore. But I realized he was racist years ago when Killer Mike (a problematic guy in his own right) was his guest. Bill continually touched Mike during the entire conversation, almost fondling his arm, his back, his shoulder. So much so that it made me extremely uncomfortable. And I remember thinking “he doesn’t do this with his white guests, not even people he considers friends”. It struck me that he was being patronizing, paternalistic….superior. Smug.

That, and his OCD rants about how “woke” is somehow worse than actual nazis, had me turning off the show years ago.
