Yeah but calling someone a racist is a serious accusation, you better bring receipts or be liable for defamation. Calling them a "secret racist" instead isn't the workaround that absolves you from this.
See above, where it is being used as an insult without any evidence to back it up. This is the most common usage, and usage defines the true meaning of the word.
So it's a made up term from people who want to discredit people they don't like by calling them "secret racist" without having any proof.
I should warn you that the user you are replying to is a crypto-paedophile. Be careful. There is no evidence to describe how he might retaliate.
All terms are made up by humans
