You know that saying, "intent is not equal to impact"? That is, just because you didn't mean to say something racist doesn't mean that what you said is not racist. It's not enough to just have good intentions-you need to actually consider the impact that your statements and actions will have on others. We can certainly take intent into consideration, but someone who repeatedly relies on having good intentions as an excuse is operating in bad faith.
