Unfortunately, some people have redefined "racism" to mean dislike of anything related to another ethnic group. Biology, culture, religion, whatever.
I agree with you here. Blaming the culture is the opposite of blaming the biology. But the meaning of "racism" has expanded from "blaming biology" to, well, "noticing anything negative about anything". The only non-racist behavior is to say the differences don't exist at all, or blaming them 100% on oppression.
- rixed 6y agoRacism is not about noticing patterns, it's about erroneous generalization and the prejudice they comes with it. In Bulgaria where gypsies live in poverty, many thieves are gypsies, therefore all gypsies are thieves, therefore not hiring gypsies. Compare with: many thieves are gypsies because poverty lead to antisocial behaviors.
