I still think the beard exceptions are dumb, but certainly a lot better than racist ideologies. I think in a way it's part of the challenge of trying to denounce such views being part of heathenry though. Not beards specifically of course, but how much importance some heathens put on them compared to others demonstrates just how varied we all are under the asatru/heathen label. White supremacy isn't part of our heathenry, but it clearly is a major part for some people.
