That's not what he's saying. He's saying he makes racist jokes with friends who he knows are not racist, and are probably of the minority of the joke he's making. For example, he hangs out with the OfflineTV group, a group of mostly koreans. And I'm guessing he pushes their buttons with racist korean jokes, and they don't mind because they're friends. If your conspiracy theory of him pandering to the left for money were true, why would he even admit doing this? Why not just pretend that you're a paragon of virtue?
But let's be reductive and let's assume he means what you say he means. Okay, what's the alternative? I like Contrapoints as much as the next guy but screaming 'YAASSSS QWEEEEN' from the rooftops isn't going to deradicalize alt right transphobes stuck in the alt right pipeline. Destiny has a chance of reaching people that H Bomberguy, Contrapoints, Philosphy Tube, Shaun or even Hasan Piker will never reach.
Because Destiny doesn't mind jumping into the mud to debate the absolute dregs of society. The dregs, who unfortunately, have really loud voices on social media right now.
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
