Essay:Fan argument

The Fan argument is committed when a person, group, or supporter of a person or group suggests that they are not prejudiced against a certain group because they happen to have supporters from said group. It is similar to the friend argument, but differs in that the person or group being supposedly exonerated does not need to actually know or engage in dialogue with the person or people supporting them.

Examples
-The Neo-Confederate movement is not racist; it has at least one black supporter.

-The men's rights movement is not misogynistic; it has female supporters.
