As someone with an actual PhD in sociology, I'd say you shouldn't trust any sociologist who suggests sociology is a discipline full of fixed definitions & concepts. It isn't, and anybody who suggests otherwise should be sent back to remedial sociology class.https://twitter.com/tootsiekannah/status/973324950143578112 …

I’m not sure if you are referring to me in this post. I certainly wasn’t suggesting any functional view of language. My work deals specifically with epistemic games and the creation of meaning so if you think I was pushing for fixed definitions, there has been a misunderstanding

How are you not pushing for fixed definitions if you claim that there can't be reverse racism?

Perhaps there has been a lapse in pragmatic competence here. Read in context, it is quite clear that my post is in reference to surface level arguments, where people attempt to label things as rascist or sexist which are in no way analogous to what they imply.

That entirely begs the question. You're telling people who use the term "racism" in its usual fashion, not to do so, because it doesn't line up with the way some sociologists use it. That's a nonsense.
