Every person has a right to fully express themselves if it does no tangible harm to others.
Every person also has a choice in how they react to stimulus that offends their sensibilities. I come from a Jewish household and there is a constant discussion of anti-Zionism vs. anti-semitism. Hitler represents a great deal of outward evil but there are other equally terrible parties involved in war.
I'd much rather know someone is a douche and avoid them rather than have their fringe beliefs broiling below the surface.
It's a problem you can see in America today with racism towards black people. Where I'm from in the south there are plenty of racists. Where I live now there are also plenty but it's far harder to tell who they are.
I'm curious if anyone has reached out to this person in an attempt to rectify the situation.
You aren't going to combt stupidity by pretending it doesn't exist.
