John Derbyshire: ‘I am a racist on the current definition…’

…although, as I keep protesting, a harmless and tolerant one.

Having uncovered this fact—it wouldn’t take them very long—would the FBI then feel justified in launching a federal civil-rights suit against me, regardless of the finding of any local investigation into the self-defense claim?

Surely there’s not much doubt that they would; otherwise, why did they put all that effort into determining whether or not Zimmerman was a racist?
