Thank you for the education.  I mean that.  Your prior snarkiness made you sound like a teen-ager.  What you just wrote was as though from a different person.

As for Bannon:  Racism is so foreign to my thinking that it's in my nature to assume there's a more innocent explanation for what some call racism.  There's also the fact the accusation of "racist" has been so careless slung around these days that I rarely take it seriously.  You can see it in our own discussion, when you closed one of your posts with the comment that accused me of racism against Middle Easterners.  My God, where did THAT come from?  Answer:  Nowhere.  A naked attempt to bully by the unfounded accusation (and assumption) of racism.  It's juvenile and overplayed.  Your later response, above, was markedly better, although it still assumes that I "know" Bannon was racist.  I don't know that, and if I did, I'd be extremely opposed to him.
