I read them, and, I mean...I guess I can see why he is so afraid of the "outrage mob." Here are the "not PC" racial comments:
""Iraq is a crappy place filled with a bunch of, you know, semiliterate primitive monkeys -- that's why it wasn't worth invading."
"I'm not defending the war in any way, but I just have zero sympathy for [Iraqis] or their culture. A culture where people just don't use toilet paper or forks."
"The Congressional Black Caucus exists to blame the white man for everything, and I'm happy to say that in public because it's true. Everyone knows it's true."
"I still can't get over, you know, Obama saying, 'They're going to attack me because I'm Black.' I mean, that's just ridiculous. I mean, that is so low to say something like that ... Everybody knows that Barack Obama would still be in the state Senate in Illinois if he were white."
"How is [Obama] Black, for one thing? He has one white parent, one Black parent."

And here are other things that make me totally distrust this man:
"In my brief experience, you know what gets women going is arguing with them, " Carlson said in 2006. Carlson said that if a feminist says "men really need to be more sensitive," a man should say, "actually, men don't need to be more sensitive. You just need to be quiet and kind of do what you're told."
"Now, 13-year-old boys getting laid, not a bad thing. Thirteen-year-old girls getting laid, bad thing. Particularly if the 13-year-old girl is your daughter, right?" Carlson said in 2006. "Because when a 13-year-old boy is 35, he can barely remember the girls he slept with when he was 13 ... But a 13-year-old girl, when she's 35, she's still thinking about that guy. I mean, it's just a much deeper experience for girls at that age and they're not ready for that."
Tucker Carlson refuses to apologize amid uproar over past comments on 'extremely primitive' women
I get these are on a shock-jock show and are quoted out of context, but he said them and hasn't apologized for them.
My take: white supremacy and xenophobia is a problem and has been more public since Obama became President. Trump exploited this for his own ends through the birther movement and suggesting Obama was Muslim. Given the current political landscape and technological ability to spread information much quicker than normal, folks who are (or use) things like racist, xenophobic, sexist, etc are likely pretty scared and anything they can do to delegitimize the significance of the labels would be helpful to them.
