The only thing your actually saying is that it’s racist, which is a gross misinterpretation of the word. Racism as a form of harassment or degradation can only effectively apply to a minority or marginalised group, it requires a power dynamic to be in play.
Saying that giving a horribly treated minority group the power to have their voices heard in law is racist is double think, it’s a perversion of the term racist.
You have been misled, and your happy about it because it means you can be righteously wrong
Tell that to every major dictionary.
You using an out-of-whack definition of the word that almost no one outside of the liberal-arts agrees with is not me being 'misled'. Language is owned by the masses.
But not owned by you.
