Also, nobody says 'reverse racism' except the people claiming it doesn't exist. People who think it does just say 'racism.' https://twitter.com/OmanReagan/status/900492492281217024 …

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.

We can, yes. Wherever we do or not is another matter.
