    Most people don’t know it’s all racists.

    The Venn diagram of “people who don’t know ICE is racist” and “people who would be okay with ICE being racist” is just two concentric circles. By this point, if they don’t already know, it’s because they have intentionally avoided the information. Willful ignorance isn’t going to be solved by referring to ICE by a different name. If anything, it will only enable the willful ignorance by allowing them to go “but that’s not actually ICE!”
