And those people would be complete fucking idiots who just need to go ahead and get dropped in a blender. Merriem-Webster and every other credible dictionary on planet Earth defines racism as (1) a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race and (2) racial prejudice or discrimination.

All we've got now is a bunch of left-wing ideologue shitbags who want to accuse others of the very racism that runs deep in their own soul.

Quote:Historically, at least in the US, that has pretty much been white men, so technically, under that definition, it is impossible for people of color to be "racist".

What definition would that be? Because there isn't a legitimate dictionary in the world that defines racism as something only white men are capable of. It is completely fucking asinine.

Quote:I think the "appropriate" term when say a black person is discriminating against a white person based on their race is them being "prejudiced".

No. The appropriate definition would be racist. One can be prejudiced in relation to a number of characteristics that have no connect with race. Prejudice based on race is racism. You know good and well you aren't going to get that over on me.

Quote:That's at least what I learned during my years in the race studies department in University. It's all kind of semantics at the end of the day.

And there you are. University. The place kids go to get stupid. And the fact that you actually participated in "race studies" tells me all I need to know. I'm being nice by not saying anything else.
