    You are so transparent or naive to a fault. Either way. Not a good look.

    More importantly, it’s not you who dictates what is and isn’t racism towards individuals. Learn to shut up, listen, and understand.

      I’m not deciding what is racist. I’m just using the definitions.

      Definition of racism

      1 : a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

      https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism

      policies, behaviours, rules, etc. that result in a continued unfair advantage to some people and unfair or harmful treatment of others based on race

      harmful or unfair things that people say, do, or think based on the belief that their own race makes them more intelligent, good, moral, etc. than people of other races

      https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/racism

      Neither of those definitions would classify this as racism.

      Also, you don’t get to just claim that anything is racism. Don’t expect people to not tell you to fuck off if you say stupid things.
