A dedicated fighter against racism is actually desperately trying to keep himself from becoming a Klansman?

Not to mention anti-fascists who presumably get all excited when they chance upon a Hitler speech on the History Channel.
I'm not quite sure how any of that really follows. Abhoring sexism, fighting racism, and being anti-fascist aren't character traits, are they? For that matter, nor is racism, sexism, or fascism - they're learned / ideologies, and the former are mostly intellectual reactions to those ideologies and behaviors.
