any form of decision or action based on race is racism. not just hate or preference, not just how you personally treat people, but if race has IN ANY WAY BUT THE MOST CLINICAL, OBJECTIVE FASHION affected your decision, the decision was affected by racism. Growing up i was instilled with the belief that everyone should be treated equally and the people most staunchly against that in my adulthood have been self-proclaimed "anti racists" or some similar label

[@BigSources]

"see?" *points at nothing*

[@grondhero]

@@theblode1337 *That's incorrect.* Racism isn't about _any_ decision, it's about focusing on detrimental traits or about oppressing a group for the advantage of another. What you _might_ be thinking of is discrimination, but discrimination isn't necessarily a negative connotation. "We have discriminating tastes" refers to people having "higher standards." So if someone says, "ethnic group B is lazy, but ethnic group A is hard working and well educated" and that person doesn't belong to group A, it isn't racism. Even saying "group B is lazy" doesn't refer to racism if you're using facts and/or statistics to support your position. Pointing out that Germans have always made great beers and pianos regardless of what country they've moved to isn't racism; it's just a fact that history shows.

[@jvjjjvvv9157]

By your own admission, there is a difference. You have written that racism is 'about focusing on detrimental traits or about oppressing a group for the advantage of another', and that's two different criteria, two completely different definitions. In one specific context one requirement may be met, and in another context the other requirement may be met. The point being that there are different ways to understand the concept, and silly debates such as this one rely precisely on conflating different ideas for the purpose of equivocation. It's not very different from when you hear people say 'well but evolution is just a theory'. More specifically, if racism consists of having a negative feeling or unfair prejudice that relies excessively on ethnicity, then of course a black person who doesn't like Asians is being racist. The girl could have said that. But if there is no oppression, no discrimination, the person doesn't hold any power over those people, and therefore those other people can barely experience any negative consequences as a result, then it is hardly what we call racism when they think of centuries of enslaving and discriminating a group of people for profit. And the girl could have also said that. I mean, I don't know about you, but I've seen black people joke derisively at how white people talk or walk, and if I have to use the same word for that than what I use to refer to early Australian settlers having aboriginals on leashes, then there is definitely a problem with the language.

I really hate this re-definition of the word "racist". A "Racist" is someone who believes that there is a measurable difference between the different ethnicities; that there are literally separate races of humans. For example, they'd believe African-descendant people to be more predisposed towards violence or that Asian-descendant people would be harder workers and so on. If you are not a racist, then you believe that we are all ultimately the same as humans and our differences are either superficial or cultural. Power dynamics have nothing to do with it.

As an Asian American who has gone through the public school system (specifically one still suffering from negative effects of integration like inter-minority racism), all of the racist acts that I’ve experienced mostly came from my fellow Hispanic and Black peers. It hurts to say this because there has never been justice for Asians. Worst memory was when a Black male student walked up to me and called me a Chinese b***h (I’m not Chinese).

[@talk1425]

Fellow Asian American here. I’m sorry you had experienced that. I was born as a Chinese/Cantonese person in the USA. I live in a diverse town of so many different backgrounds, but even then I never felt like I fit in. I have never been received racist comments, but as I grew up I noticed that I was picked on by a lot of Black and Hispanic kids. Even then most of my relatives were assaulted when they lived in NYC. And it didn’t help the fact that the public school system taught history in black and white. But we got to stick together.

@@thiccarmybomb2395 It's a tenuous difference. Think of it as systemic racism vs regular racism. An individual can be racist towards another person, but that individual may not be part of a group that controls the judicial or legal systems. South African Apartheid is a good example of this: even if a white person was treated badly by black people there, the white people still held all the legislative and judicial power and so we're systemically racist against black people. The black people could still be racist but they still would have felt a judge's full wrath. This is contrasted to how white judges oftentimes don't charge white offenders because they are "hardworking men at heart" or some similar excuse.

[@FMB_Bmg]

Philosophy student here. What many anti-racism activists are trying to do is defining racism as "discrimination of a minority ethnic group by the majority ethnic group" instead of "discrimination based on ethnicity". It's important to see that if you accept their definition, then it is in fact a valid argument for example to say that black people cannot be racist towards white people. The issue really is though that this definition of racism is at best misleading or possibly even dishonest. The important point is: Even though the argument itself is actually not fallacious... if you think about it, it becomes a very insignificant statement. To illustrate that: Suppose that we define traffic collisions as "accidents that involve two blue cars crashing into each other". In this case it would be a valid argument to say that a motorcycle crashing into another motorcycle or even a red car crashing into a blue car isn't actually a traffic collision. It will now of course be a very insignificant statement to say that 100% of all traffic collisions involve blue cars, when we have already predefined them that way. We can do the same thing with racism: Let's now for example define racism as "discrimination of black people by white Canadians aged between 7 and 17". Just like before, it would be a valid argument to say that in this case only white Canadians aged between 7 and 17 can be racist. But the thing is: Should we accept this definition? No we shouldn't, because even though it is logically valid, it's misleading, since most people simply have a different definition. So what is the actual problem? It's mere word games resulting in a misunderstanding. The one group is making a valid, but misleading (and often insignificant) argument, while the other is trying to disprove the argument, but failing at it, because they do not discuss the definitions first. I personally would either reject a definition of racism that does not include the discrimination of all ethnicities... Or if someone insist on using their definition for racism: Go with it for the sake of argument, but make it very clear to the audience, what definition for racism is used within the framework of the debate and then discuss it. Otherwise you will talk about completely different things.

But I think it's important to realize that sometimes it makes sense to use definitions that are uncommon in order to express a complex thought. You just have to be clear about what you actually want to say. I just think that some activists remain intentionally vague and don't want the definitions to be clear, so that they can hide fallacies in their arguments. For example they often tend to switch definitions in the middle of the argument depending on what they currently need (equivocation fallacy). That tactic actually requires some skill, which is why I wouldn't brush it aside as stupidity. I genuinely think they are straight up lying, because they feel they can persuade more people that way.

The sociological definition of racism, like the term minority, is dependent upon power. In South Africa there are less white people than black people but black people are considered the minority because of having less power within that society; i.e. white people being able to institute an apartheid despite their smaller numbers in South Africa. Racism is racial bias enacted on minorities from the majority. Race based biases enacted on the majority from someone in a minority is prejudice. The public has warped the definition of racism similarly to what people are doing now with the word sociopath. There is no diagnosis of sociopathy and often times, but not exclusively, what people would refer to as sociopathic behavior would fall under Antisocial Personality Disorder. People who aren't knowledgeable about a field disseminating incorrect/inaccurate information is what many times makes the idea of common knowledge a misnomer.

So ZONG is saying that since this person can't understand racism is racism even if performed by a different race; she would then also not understand that iced coffee has caffeine like knowing there's caffeine in normal coffee because the only difference is ice. (If that even makes any sense to you?)

@Shadow Of Wiggin do you think it's possible that a town where the only opportunities a kid has is sports is structured well. Also there are no public schools that I know of that don't allow gender, but I understand if that is a topic you want to shelter kids from. In reality the children growing up with gender identity issues are always going to exist and making them feel invalid is un-american. Also I don't know what equity classes are, but I think you mean equality? Once again I don't see how that is a bad thing. I think children should grow up being kind and tolerant so that might stick in their adult years. So, in summary a state reallocating funds from sports programs that really don't send all that many kids to college and using that money on education isn't bad. Education is good and if more people were educated we might not fight as much.

The sociological definition of racism, like the term minority, is dependent upon power. In South Africa there are less white people than black people but black people are considered the minority because of having less power within that society; i.e. white people being able to institute an apartheid despite their smaller numbers in South Africa. Racism is racial bias enacted on minorities from the majority. Race based biases enacted on the majority from someone in a minority is prejudice. The public has warped the term racism similarly to what people are doing now with the word sociopath. There is no diagnosis of sociopathy and often times, but not exclusively, what people would refer to as sociopathic behavior would fall under Antisocial Personality Disorder.

Minorities being racist against minorities is sadly waaaay too common...

But it seems that they changed the definition of racism(what is a FUCKIN mistake and a contradiction... According tp them racial discrimination is not racism...but when a white man do it is racism... Because they have the power... The shit is hilarious because they do not judge you by you individuality but by the group you belong... It means that: even if you are homeless and poor... You can't be racist to a rich black man because you belong in a powerful "group"... The shit is hilarious because there's always something to justify their actions and it's even a contradiction... When they scream: "we want racism to end" according to their own logoc they are only fighting against the system and not the individual level... In any words: they are nkt fighting for what is fair, but to benefit them!. It is also a contradiction because they hate when a action of a person has different consequences than a white man because they belong in another... But in the same time: your actions receive different consequences because you bwlong in an other group... It is also a double standard and hypocritical because they hate it but they do it anyway what is hilarious! I can't debate with this... The environment is very toxic... I am gonna follow the methods of morgan freeman .. If they have a problem with him screw them... Their methods only made it worse and proved that they aren't fighting for other groups but only to benefit themselves... It doesn't matter, in anyways we will have minority and majority... The only way that could solve this is segregation(what i am against it because i believe that we as a human we need to learn to live to what is different... How can we involve to another civilization and maybe live with another civilization ?) because to them majority has the power therefore they are the oppressor(i am having a feeling of that ideology where: if you are poor it's because you are opressed and the rich is the oppressor...) it doesn't solve anything, it just blames the majority... Research suggest that in 2044 "white" will become a minority... Thefore they can not be racist and are opressed... But the problem is: are they gonna follow the same logic or are they going to change them ? In both scenario we do not win... The majority will always be guilty of anything...
