      Hey, here's a brief analogy for you: If someone in medieval Europe decides that moneylending is an immoral profession, and they kill a bunch of Jewish people who "happen" to be moneylenders (because it's one of the professions society allows them to do), that's antisemitism

      i think this ties into the more general transmuation of racism into "unthinking prejudice" and "mere animus" literally defining prejudice to mean a feeling /known by the feeler to be unreasonable/

      SHOCK! this definition has the nifty feature of applying to nobody, and therefore the nifty conclusion that only "other people," ignorant people, are racist you don't hate people merely for being [members of a group]! you hate people for [insert group stereotype about X here]!

      so we have wound up with this mad discourse where you can "prove" you're not a racist by arguing that you have very good reason to hate [race]! they're lazy/criminal/subservient/breeding too fast! that's not racism, that's just science! ....

      i.e. somehow we have got to a place where /endorsing racist tropes/ is somehow meant to prove that you are not a racist! what the actual!

      Yeah it's like the whole deal with Scott Alexander and the "rationalist" clique of Bay Area techbros he represents Outright saying that "racism" describes an *emotion*, an *irrational* emotion, and therefore if you're a Very Smart Rational Person you can't be racist

      Outright saying you can't call someone "racist" for "beliefs about facts about the world", including if -- *especially* if -- those beliefs about facts include the belief that Black people have genetically lower IQ and are less fit for important decision-making jobs

          Shit like that just proves that Cipolla was right about stupid people: there are always more than we are willing to accept.
