We're obviously not going to agree on this. It's not just you or I though, this is a huge debate of our times. I truly believe the dictionary definition of racism will continue to be how most people view, define and react to statements like Jeong's. Racism = bad is really tough to argue against.
We'll see if the left can prescriptively redefine what "racism" means to align with their politics. I have serious doubts that it will pick up steam though.
- pvg 8y agothis is a huge debate of our times. It's not. This particular one is mostly manufactured twitter outrage. I truly believe the dictionary definition of racism You aren't using a 'dictionary definition of racism'. You're using one in which evoking literal Nazism is the same thing as being upset at someone's unfunny edgelordery. It's not a good look and you ought to reconsider.
- malvosenior 8y agoTelling people who are upset about racism that their outrage is manufactured, is "not a good look and you ought to reconsider" > You aren't using a 'dictionary definition of racism'. The dictionary definition or racism is this: "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior." So I guess I am using the dictionary definition.
