Musk's defense against racism: he has a partner

The quoted tweet shows Elon Musk responding to accusations of racism by pointing to his half-Indian partner and their four children together. The reaction: comparing this to saying you can't be transphobic because you have a trans child you've completely cut off and trash talk constantly. Having a family member from a marginalized group doesn't immunize you from bigotry toward that entire group. It's the defense everyone uses when they want to avoid accountability.

Q: People say that you're a racist. Elon Musk: My partner is half Indian, and I have four children with her…So I would say I'm not racist.
