It’s not even logical advice if you believe him that there really is a climate of hatred against white people.
The logical advice to respond to that climate would be to act with dignity and treat other people like you’d like to be treated. To reach out and integrate, and build community. Doing that eventually solves the problem, even if it takes time and energy.
“Staying away” just ensures perpetual hate and division. It’s stupid advice. America literally tried that already and it didn’t work.
And this is all before we unpack the factual validity of these claims, and the underlying causes of that climate if those claims are really true.
I’m amazed at how many people are jumping to this guy’s defense. He doesn’t need his reputation defended, he dug his own hole.

If you treated people with respect and dignity for your entire life and the result you get is increased hatred against you then disengaging is in fact a perfectly valid course of action.
