And once again, this is complete nonsense. There is no such thing as an inviolate sociological definition.pic.twitter.com/ZGFtadbwje
There is no central sociological authority that could make such a thing true. Sociology is a contested discipline, & sociologists will...

will define concepts according to particular theoretical frameworks, etc. If anybody tells you different, even if you can find a textbook...

that appears to suggest otherwise, it's a nonsense. Good sociologists define their terms, & then they work from there. They certainly don't

think that the way a term is used in a sociological sense is exhaustive of all the meaningful usages of a word. The idea is ridiculous.

This is not to argue there is no merit in a conception of racism that includes a proper understanding of power. Of course there is.

But it is the case that if somebody claims racism is x, because sociologists say it is x, then they have no clue what they're talking about.
