They do have a lot of power, so aren't they capable of being racist against white people, even when racism is defined as power+prejudice?
- wutbrodo 5y agoThere is literally nobody in this thread arguing that the redefinition is salutary, or even sane. I think that the idea that "racism" only applies to certain races isn't just foolish, it's evil. But one can describe the _existence_ of a phenomenon without endorsing it. The bubbles who subscribe to this definition are the relevant ones when discussing how Tiktok's content policy was written.
- leereeves 5y agoI'm not sure why you would take my comment (which was simply expanding on someone else's comment) as being directed at you or implying that you agree with the redefinition. I'm just pointing out the obvious logical mistake being made by generally rational academics and textbook authors. Obviously we don't often see reason triumph over political advantage among politicians and the press, but without the support of educators that redefinition would have far less support.
