    Prejudice on grounds of race against an individual or group is quite literally the definition of racism.

    You yourself do not have to be a state to be racist.

    That’s a pretty seppo take on racism.

      There is a difference between simple prejudice, and prejudice that is backed by systemic power.

      Both are bad of course. But one has the ability to ruin your day, while the other has the ability to ruin your life.

      In most progressive theory, racism is explicitly about power, not merely individual prejudice. That isn’t a new definition of racism, but it is a different definition than most of us learn when we are younger.

      its actual political theory which backs up my statement, you seem to just be grifting off a definition and your bruised ego. Read books, and get rid of the internalized white supremacy while you’re at it, there is far more to life than attachment to such fickle ideas.
