What exactly is racist about diversity, inclusion or equity?

This is the big issue: we as leftists complain that liberals don't listen to us, but when they actually adopt our language, we just accuse them of being racists.

Many left wingers are on the left solely because they hate liberals, and once they age out of protesting, almost always move to the far right. Seeing that you consider equity to be racist, I would say it is highly likely you have already began the rightwing creep and just haven't realized it yet.

Racism = treating differently based on race.

Changing the colour of your clan robes from white to black doesn't make you less of a racist.

You're falling into the trap so many do where they think their racism is the only good one and is right and justified. Spoiler, every racist thinks the same. Just treat people the same mate.

Please, tell me more about "my racism." I'm genuinely curious what somebody who likely does nothing for their or anybody else's community has to say about "my racism."

Wow, this is some "it's illegal for both the rich and poor to sleep under a bridge" sort of brainless equality.
