People pretending not to know what others mean infuriate me.

You can't make criticism of prejudiced behaviour go away by redefining the words they use to criticise it.
-
Also shouldn't it be "inverse racism"? "Reverse racism" would just be a racist deciding not to be racist anymore, that's a good thing right?
-
Go be frenziedly logical elsewhere. There is no room for any kind of logic in this mentality.

Alas, 'tis true. The open fields of information, upon which our minds frolic like spring lambs, are fenced in by those who would can't leap.

Yes. I was liking your decision to let it go coz irrelevant & took laughing for doing so good-humouredly. Might have been wrong abt latter

Wonder what these 'reverse racism is not a thing' people tell POC who say POC can be racist, or does their head just explode?

-
Maybe they're just using different definitions of the same word and it's really no more than thatpic.twitter.com/uVapAANllQ
-
It is that but there is a stubborn refusal to accept that the conventional meaning exists & just tell people they don't know what it means.
-
Right, but there's also a sociological definition which people are using to differentiate between two unequal things.
-
Yes & they insist that that's the only one that exists rather than saying 'I'm using the word to mean "systemic racism"' 1/2
-
Also, they do this when the person who has said something is racist is clearly not talking abt that but abt prejudice on grounds of race.
-
That's kind did my point. Both sides (willfully?) ignorant that the other is using a different definition. So we get nowhere.
-
But we can. It's so easy to say what you mean and accept other definitions exist. I'm saying we should do that.
