It always boils down to race for them as it's something they can't really lose. It's something they'll always have. It's not a pet that will die from neglect as they're lazy, nor is it a hobby that requires real involvement in. Neither is it something they've actually put effort into to earn. It's something they can grasp onto and assure themselves of their own value, even if they haven't any.
This is central as to why altfurry has become as despised as they are. They want acceptance for everything they do, wholesale. The racism just compounds it. They'd be less detestable if they weren't, but they still would be.
You can only post "GAS THE JEWS 14/88 6 MILLION MOAR XD XD XD" so many times before people wish to absent you from their activities. Furry Raiders often preach of the ills of the infamous SJW and their lack of personal responsibility, while never exercising a modicum of it themselves.
