Ooooh, there's agreement amongst sociologists (which there isn't) that settles it then! It's a rhetorical power grab. Of course it's useful to factor in power (not exactly a genius level thought!), but the only one true definition stuff is just a boring political game.

So I also like to annoy people on Twitter lol, but I’m mostly immune to it myself. With respect to earlier and the argument from authority that I used, basically I couldn’t be bothered explaining it to him. Especially when he was just being s pedant.
I get irritated because I think there's a political agenda at work - i.e., to co-opt the rhetorical power of the word "racism" for the benefit of marginalized groups. I understand the impulse, but reject it, because it relies on a con trick.

Why do you reject it? What’s the con?
