There's lots of racism in the autistic community, because white people in the autistic community are as inherently racist as white people not in the autistic community.

I don't know if Zuckerburg and Musk are autistic. It seems like an armchair diagnostic label y'all only ever put on people you don't like, so maybe stop that.
But if they ARE autistic, they are still racist and awful in all the same ways they would have been as neurotypicals.

It's not just non-autistic people doing this, as white autistics we are often unafraid to use our autism as an excuse for our racism, and it's not okay. Thank you to @photon_barrier for making that clear where I did not:
