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'd been wound up by some other sociologist making exactly the same claim about the word racism!

Don’t you think it more accurately describes the actual problem of racism by moving it away from this idea that it’s someone calling someone else a “cracker”? Of moving it see from interpersonal to structural.

Analogously, a Marxist might be right that social class is best understood in terms of relations to means of production, but they don't get to claim people are using the term class incorrectly when they use it to distinguish between manual and non-manual labour, for example.

But one can claim that it IS better understood that way and the definition should reflect that.

But regardless, you're not simply arguing that racism is best understood as being structural, and that ought to be reflected in the definition. You're arguing that people are making some kind of mistake if they use the word in a different way.
