    You’re talking about the Marxist definition of racism, aka systemic racism. OP is talking about the common definition of racism, as in to judge based on race.

      Its annoying the word “systematic” was chopped off because its basically a trueism if you left it.

      If it doesn’t not involve oppression of a minority race by an in-power race, it’s not (systematic) racism. Might be prejudism, not (systematic) racism though. (systematic) Racism involves a power imbalance that treats as inferior a minority.

        Right, but then you wouldn’t be able to dismiss OPs concerns. OP wasn’t talking about systemic racism, they were talking about the common understanding of racism.

        The purpose is to muddy the waters.

          I was being semi sarcastic, “an individual on his own is being systematically racist”. I removed context by accedent in a earlier draft
