      .@bathwin That's what I'm objecting to. Find out what the other person means by a word. Don't spend hours telling them what they should mean

      Give them racism and talk about racial prejudice instead? They want the ism coz it comes with an ist, much worse.

      I accept the definition of the person I'm talking to. I'm objecting to them not doing so & shutting down convo with semantics.

      I see what you mean but also shuts off debate when you both accept each others different definitions of what you're discussing.

      For the purpose of the conversation! eg 'You're calling 'racism' what I'd call 'institutional racism' Lets discuss it now.

      Yes! We don't have to agree on the correct word for something to discuss something. We just have to both know what other means.

      The underlying reality matters. So let's talk about racism from POC. POC can't be racist! OK, institutional racism it is then.

      Yes, it does. That's what we need to be discussing. Not always whether we're using the right words to discuss it.

      Once you accept these different terms you are in some way accepting this alternate reality, and altering the debate.

      You don't have to accept them generally or commit to not arguing against them to put aside semantics & discuss what they refer to.
