You're not wrong, but you're taking the textbook definition too far.
This whole topics rests on the premise that "positive discrimination" is acceptable or even necessary due to historical injustice.
An analysis that reverts to "racism is always and everywhere bad" will fail to reconcile, even if you believe it.
- a9h74j 6y ago> the textbook definition Not contradicting you, but FWIW there seem to be a half-dozen-each implicit definitions of 'racism' and 'racist' floating around society these days, and each might have widely-varying senses of magnitude or extremity associated with them (from innocuous to extreme). It becomes difficult to parse logic and moral logic around these words, when various interpretations are taken into account.
