Dude, if you say 'black people are on average less intelligent and more likely to be criminal and this is determined by their inferior genetics and therefore we must stop immigration from africa because their inferior genes are bound to make our society worse', that is racist. There's no way around that. I agree that racist is a word with a highly contested definition, I agree that it is a word that has been thrown around too lightly, and if you want to argue that Testie's use of 'nigger' on his stream doesn't make him a racist, then whatever, be my guest. But he has presented the argument I put in quotation marks on several occasions, and every single working definition of racist will define that statement as racist.
Frankly, to me, it sounds like you're trying to say that you yourself is racist, but you don't want to be branded that way, so people shouldn't use this word to describe what the word actually means, but that just makes no sense to me.
And for the record, I consider Testie a friend. But he is a racist. Twitch banned him for expressing his racism because they don't tolerate it. It's not any more complicated than that.

You need to look up some statistics.
