Maybe he's racist against immigrants? Alternatively, maybe he's hoping that they'll care more about him being a fellow rich person (if he is in fact rich) than about his gay blackness (they don't).
Maybe he bought the lie that the ideology that belies Conservative platform isn't racist (or is an acceptable parameter of racist) or homophobic... Or maybe he just feels like he's been accepted into the club when he gets cheered on by his Conservative buddies for slaging on trans folk and other POCs because they lift him up as an exception. " Here's what a "good" gay black guy looks like. See we're not racist and our platform has merit we got one of them on our side! Buy him a drink! "... This holds up until you get into company that doesn't have to lie to themselves that they aren't trying to oppress you and want you to just not be an uncomfortable problem anymore.
Every genocide has idiots who join the other side in a bid to be a pet for safety and sell out their own communities in hope they will be respectable and safe... It's a gambit that only proves you're scum before it gets you get killed.
