If we all agreed on those terms you threw out, then you might have a point. But we don't. I don't agree with the new definition of racist. There was a time no

If we all agreed on those terms you threw out, then you might have a point.
But we don't.
I don't agree with the new definition of racist. There was a time not long ago that dressing up as a black person for Halloween was maybe insensitive but it was not considered racist. Especially since only the people who saw you were affected. (Now everyone can see everything)
Racist used to mean that you thought one race was superior or that one race was inferior. Now it means saying anything or doing anything that any segment of only one race's population considers offensive.
Many on one side of the political aisle will stone-face claim that it is not possible to be racist towards white people because they are the majority. That indicates that the definition has changed.
So, yes... we are discussing a philosophical pie in the sky because that's where the terms are being defined.
