"Racism" is only a blood libel and has no content other than that.

Bullshit. Racism is treating people differently based on their ethnicity. Any race can do it, and members of every race do. It's not "blood libel" because it has nothing to do with your blood. That's the whole point. There's a lot of people on the left who misuse it, though.

Your wishing that a word has a different meaning than it does is irrelevant. You don't get to decide and there's no tradition to fall back on since it's a 20th century neologism so it's on usage and usage agrees with my view of it, not yours.

For clarity, what do you think racism is? Who is it libeling, and what's the libel?

I already explained what "racism" means - it's a slur that implies a blood libel. "All X-es are racists" then "Z had it coming because he's a *racist*"

"Blood libel" refers to the libel against Jews that they kill children and use their blood in religious rituals. It's not a libel against somebody's blood. Also, anyone who says "All X-es are racist", where X is a race, are a) wrong, and b) actually racist themselves.

You wishing the word were used that way doesn't make it so.

Get off Twitter, talk to normal people. It's how ~80% of people use "racist".

You're a fool working to preserve 20 year old leftism. They don't have a use for it any more, so it's gone. If people don't know the right usage of that old memetic weapon they'll learn it at a mandatory office struggle session.

Who gives a damn about the left? I don't judge my morality based on their beliefs - I have way more self-respect than that. I'm more likely to reference Ayn Rand on the question of defining racism than any of them, and I'm not exactly a Rand fanboy. And business isn't Maoist.

"Business" isn't in charge - Maoists are. In a world where the only survival filter for business is keeping the federal money flowing and keeping the Eye off your business no one dares stop the Maoists that got hired in the HR department.
