That's not the "modern" definition of racism, that's an arbitrary modification that only exists in academia and is used to justify racism against whites and sex

That's not the "modern" definition of racism, that's an arbitrary modification that only exists in academia and is used to justify racism against whites and sexism against men.
Whether you're punching up or down, racism and sexism are ugly and disgusting, regardless of what Bidel-Pavda[0] and her ilk would claim.

- webmaven 10y agoLook, you're complaining against the fact that 'racism' is more narrowly defined than just gender discrimination and requires privilege to enforce/reinforce the latter for it to be considered the former. How hard is it really to adjust to a more finicky definition? Or are you denying that when backed up by a prevalent privilege (or an inverse stereotype), all other things being equal, discrimination becomes more damaging (and harder to withstand)? No one is denying that plain discrimination is still ugly, after all.
