I'm not at all surprised that the academic meaning of the term "racism" is entirely different than the colloquial meaning. I am, however, confused as to why people are demanding the academic usage enter into common usage.
- writepub 8y agoThe academic meaning and common use is only different in "academic" circles filled with modern feminists, that insist on it being different, for no scientific reason what-so-ever.
