Are you suggesting I don’t believe racism is real? I think you’re confused.

  Your idiosyncratic definition is fine-tuned to capture both KKK and BLM as "racist". Clearly you haven't suffered the racism of modern American life that gave rise to BLM [0]. If anyone other than yourself used this definition, it would prolong that racism. You have only "confused" yourself. If you meant something else, you should have said something else.

    > Your idiosyncratic definition … is privileged and shitty So you’re not saying it’s wrong, you’re just saying it’s offensive? It’s not that idiosyncratic [0], though even if it were, appeal to the masses is a fallacy. > If anyone other than yourself used this definition, it would prolong that racism. I disagree. I don’t see how you can fight for race and fight against racism at the same time. I also don’t understand why you would want to - science is the ultimate ally.
