Hrmm… our minds are very far away from each other today.
Surely, what's important is whether it *is* misogyny and racism. Shouldn't be a political requirement to think it is or isn't.

Agreed. But there is pressure from the dominant, universalist majority to disregard such explanations!

I think this is simplistic. I think a lot of the resistance to seeing racism & sexism etc comes from people seeing it everywhere.

The terms are losing power because of overuse & misuse. If everything is sexism and racism, nothing is.

“If everything i X, X is meaningless”—Agreed. However, racism & sexism exist as social phenomena distinct from analyses of cases

Well, yes, but you can lose people's support if you aren't reasonable.

If I was going to be facetious, I would interpret “reasonable” as “acceptable within frames of reference of the majority”

Very Foudauldian. But yes, we could argue about what is and isn't reasonable.
