- Zergy 11y agoDoesn't matter. A particular group doesn't get to define racism for the rest of the population.
- ThrustVectoring 11y agoThat's empirically false. "Racism" is whatever speech will convince enough people to call you "racist", and one person in twenty is more than enough to do it.
- Zergy 11y agoWhats empirically false changes person to person and culture to culture as demonstrated by your arbitrary definition of racism. I do not define Racism as actions other find racist.
- ThrustVectoring 11y agoI'm not interested in a debate about the meaning of truth - replace empirical correctness with everyday practicality and my point stands. You're free to define the term "racism" however you want to. However, you might regret ignoring your personal and cultural context if you care about not getting called racist.

- BossHogg 11y agoHave their opinions ever really mattered to the "majority?" Any clear thinking person looking at history (both distant and recent) would conclude mostly no.
