Its anti-intellectual oversimplification to justify racist abuse.

And rejecting a fundamental definition in the academic field of sociology isn't anti-intellectual? Unless you're a scholar in that field, you really don't have a leg to stand on besides "waaaah, the definition makes me feel bad."

Yeah sociologists don't have a consensus that there is only one type of racism and that it perfectly fits your narrative. Nice try though.

"waaaah, the definition makes me feel bad."

I'm not even mad. Racist abuse does make me feel bad.

Unless you're a scholar in that field, you really don't have a leg to stand on

I appreciate that this is a backwards way of recognizes you are wrong. Just deflect to credentials and appeal to authority. Can't argue against basic critical thinking so go for the fallacy and cringey fake quotes. Very woke.

Believing scientists is performative wokeness, and your gut feeling about a definition is equally valid as a sociologist's. Now those are the kinds of fiery hot takes I came into this dumpster fire of a thread to see.

your gut feeling about a definition

The total lack of self-awareness in this.

Yes, you are so above it all. Actively arguing against critical thought and logic while paying lip service to it. So wise.

Deflecting the conversation away from actually discussion the definition into this red herring and argument from authority fallacy with no real basis in authority. So woke.

Thank you for enlightening me with your narrow understanding and attempt to dumb down a massive field of study into simplistic politicized rhetoric and talking points. /s
