So it seems for most people, the term "racism" does not refer to privilege + power; e.g., those not in power can still be racist.
I think the privilege+power people should use a different word from racism so this is less confusing.

this feels like a really pure example of a "conflict theory vs. mistake theory" thing to me tbh. you're trying to analyze an almost purely conflict theory dynamic as if it were mistake theory

Then they gotta fuck around in my mistake theory box and I will continue getting more earnestly confused at them

serious question: what effects do you want this to have and has it had that effect so far? (i don't read your replies by default lol)

I don't have a specific answer for this. So far my replies are mostly people saying variations on what you said

I love this idea. I've been looking for a way to say this. my goal is to allow for those like myself who use the prejudice definition without coming off as prejudiced. the majority of the world defines it that way. this semantics problem is at the crux of many disagreements.
