So it seems for most people, the term "racism" does not refer to privilege + power; e.g., those not in power can still be racist.
I think the privilege+power people should use a different word from racism so this is less confusing.

this feels like a really pure example of a "conflict theory vs. mistake theory" thing to me tbh. you're trying to analyze an almost purely conflict theory dynamic as if it were mistake theory

Yeah, i want to start from mistake theory and if their motivation is political then I want them to say that directly

This sentiment is applying a mistake-theory mindset to a conflict-theory situation, so, so hard.
