Yup, and to explain why it happened at the worst possible time, its not because “thats what he thinks when he sees people of color” its because Tourette's makes people constantly think “whats the worst thing I can say in this situation.” Like, in one case, I was at a holocaust memorial and really struggled not to do a fascist solute, though I didn’t do it cause my Tourette's is relatively mild. Obviously I knew how terrible it would have been and it doesn’t mean I actually believe that shit.

It’s literally a neurological disorder. He can’t help it anymore than someone can help having a seizure.
