E.g., someone dismisses your opinion as "typically white". When you point out that's a racial slur, you hear it's "culturally white". /2

Culturalizing skin colours means racializing ideas. It doesn't get any more regressive and anti-liberal than that. /3

So ideas can not be racialized, or exist as racialized thought patterns ? And the Liberal is the summum of all good ?

Not ideas like liberal democracy, science, reason, freedom, no. No race owns those. Liberalism is good, yes. Illiberalism is bad.
