Saying "you ain't black" was not "racism." It was an ironic, slang reference suggesting people who voted for Trump would be voting against their own interests by voting for someone who was racist.
Yeah, we shouldn't try to polish this turd. What Biden said in that moment was extremely problematic and was, most definitely, a racist comment. You're overall point is accurate, there has been no one in modern politics in the US that is on par with Trump on all of this, but don't try to excuse that comment from Biden.
