, at least Jace hates people for something that at least tangentially effects their character, not just the way they look.

Thing is, racists do that as well. They don't just say "That person has brown skin and that's bad". Basically they attribute a whole lot of negative things to certain phenotipical properties. Or actually the other way round, they don't say "brown skin makes you bad", but "there's bad people and they happen to have brown skin" (or any other assortment of phenotypical properties that are tied to any kind of "race" they can think of).
They don't say "we hate n****** because they're black", they say "we hate black people because they destroy our culture/are rapists/are dumb/whatever and are biologically inclined to be/do that".

I also never had the impression Jace is racist, just very nationalistic. He has the wellbeing of the US of A (and the A stands for America!) on his mind, and (not only) in his mind are Islamic terrorists just pretty much the greatest threat to them. He doesn't hate them for any racially motivated reason. In one fact-zone he pretty clearly stated that, saying that the USA were the best country in the world yadda-yadda, and that all of its citizens, no matter their race, gender or whatever, are the greatest people on earth.
His stance on pretty much anything is really just shaped by the "America fuck yeah" kind of patriotism he gets from CoD and conservatives.
 
Jace is a bigot, not a racist. He hates people based on their culture, religion and ideals, not the color of their skin. Some people say it's a distinction without difference, but I think it's a pretty big, at least Jace hates people for something that at least tangentially effects their character, not just the way they look.

He has only rarely made the distinction though. And I'm pretty sure he's used racial slurs against Hispanic and Arabic people (and maybe black people, can't really remember). Jace can be pretty racist at times and certainly ignorant, but as DeagleDad420 said I think he is opposed to racism as a concept, but he has a very childlike understanding of it. In his more manic moments foreign people are just cardboard baddies that exist to ruin his life so he doesn't even see them as people, so in his eyes racism doesn't come into it.
 
Others have already made some very good points about Jace's extreme military jingoism so I won't repeat those, but I do have something else (even if it is minor) to add: Muslims are a religion, not an ethnicity. It seems like a minor detail but he's made this distinction before. For one example, the foreshadowed love interest in Tiberius Rising, Aaliyah, is portrayed as an innocent good character, and while Arabic, she is strongly opposed to extremist Islam and is therefore a good person. Further he gave the examples of Arabic Christians in Iraq and Syria etc. being oppressed victims of ISIS and said he felt sorry for them and gave his support. Of course, Arabs are statistically more likely to be Muslim in Jace's mind, but even he acknowledges that Muslim does not equal Arab.

TL;DR: It's religious prejudice, not racial prejudice.

This is true on some level, but he doesn't always make that distinction right away. On one of his fact zone streams, he was doing a minority appreciation call in thing and someone said he was Arab. Jace made that super pissed off face, like the same one he made when Tyce brought up Bible Camp during his trial. He did calm down when he found out he wasn't in fact Muslim, but it was a fucking hilarious reaction while it lasted.

Jace will parkour into your bedroom and shoot you with his bb gun.
 
Going back to Jace and Racism: 9/11 happened when Jace was still very young and impressionable. He was only 10 when it happened. He has literally lived most of his life with our country being at war in Afghanistan and Iraq. It's on the news every single day. Now, If Jace had been alive during Vietnam he'd probably be raging about "gooks and slopes" and bitching about Communist plots to destroy America. He's basically a product of the times and culture we live in, as well has his home life and mental disorders. He hates Muslims because all he sees in the news is Muslims killing us and us killing Muslims. If it were any other type of people, be it Germany, Japan, Korea, the British, whom ever, he'd be parroting the same kind of hate-speech towards those groups.
 
He has outright stated it more or less during a breakdown. He slipped that he takes abilify and becomes incredibly angry and emotional when accused of being 'schizo'. Strictly speaking we don't know if he's got a lazy eye either but signs point to yes...
Oh yeah you can really see most of his issues with that in the last livestream with Benito. He totally hates the kid for having the insane trait which he takes as him being "schizo". But then he was totally shocked when he saw Benito reading to and caring for kid Stryker. He goes on a huge rant about how schizos aren't real people and that they have to take meds to be normal while crying and freaking out about it, which leads me to believe he might have self esteem issues about himself being schitzoprenzic and being on meds.

Benito gave us such a bizarre and disturbing look into Jace's psyche just by existing. It's astonishing.

I think the real shock for him wasn't that Benito was caring for the ghost, but kissed him on the cheek. Thats like, gay dude.

Now. I was going to somber on how he didnt do any longplays like he said he would (would be intresting to see him ramble about a game without audiance dickary, or 'cut out the boring bits' when they come along) but right now, we have a bit of an answer on why hes not uploading stuff everyday

That's another thing, I can't tell of he was more in shock because of the gay homo kiss or if seeing Benito kissing his child self and taking care of him like no one ever did hurt on some really deep unconscious level.

Honestly I don't think it was the gayness. He comments incredibly quick about that kinda stuff, 'THAT'S FUCKED UP HOMOSEXUAL CONTENT YO FUCKED UPPP' but his reaction to this was a lot more profound. He just stared and said, 'I don't know how I'm supposed to respond to this.' I don't think he knew why it bothered him, but I don't think the main thing was gayness at all. That was one of my favorite moments about that stream.

See, what makes me think it was more about Jace believing Benito was an evil emotionless schizo and not the whole gay kiss thing is that he began specifically talking about how Benito wasn't supposed to act like that because he's not supposed to be able to care about other people like that (at least not without meds anyway) and not the actual kissing part. Seeing someone he branded as a monster act like that seems to be what struck a nerve on him.
 
Yo dawg, dat crib need to be, like, next to da Micky-D's 'n shit, yo. Like, needs to be next to da sk8 park and by sum hot bitchez. Gots to gets my dick wet, feel me? Now go get it done, bitch! Why ain't you got dat crib yet?
