The sheer absurdity of "LGB Alliance"-style rhetoric never ceases to amaze me Most people understand that what "gay rights" means in general is that the government should *stop caring* about what sex you are, that it *shouldn't matter* -- "get Parliament out of my bedroom"

I.e. instead of asking "Are you white or black?" (the one drop rule) it's assumed most people are somewhere in between, "mestizo", and the big question starts off with just "*How* white are you?" That's still racist, that's still essentially racism

Racism is the existence of an "ideal", of there being a "normal" and "abnormal", of there being a "spectrum" with a "good" and a "bad" pole at all There doesn't have to exist a single "truly white" person in the world for racism to exist if "How white are you?" is a thing

Incredible how likely it gets that people from outside Latin America will jump down your throat for talking about that because describing “here is a different way people are super racist” is Denying The Reality Of Racism Because You Think Your Country Isn’t Racist anyway though

(My intended subtext is that I actively appreciate this being your example.)
