Poll Should The Definition Of "Racist" Change? (16 votes)

Yes 19%
No 81%

Considering its current usage as "anyone who disagrees with a typically regressive left liberal or social justice warrior", doesnt it make sense to change its definition?

Full Definition of racism

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

  2. 2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

The title of your thread says otherwise.

Hello. Don't say things like this quoted part to other users please. Thanks.

Also "Considering its current usage as "anyone who disagrees with a typically regressive left liberal or social justice warrior", doesnt it make sense to change its definition?"

Thats not how definitions work. It would be like suggesting we change the word "sensitive" because its current definition is mostly conservatives who are really sensitive, so sensitive they go around throwing super generalized accusations and projections around about others/other groups. Take part in group PM's where other individuals who identify as conservative scheme obsessively, even though there are a lot of really chilled conservatives, liberals, everything else. Bad idea, there are degrees of competence and understanding.

If you are around people who can't use words wisely or apply them well, try and hang out with new people. Then make sure your own ability to understand and communicate ideas and language are top too. We shouldn't rely on the idea others are poor communicators or thinkers to justify our own intellectual laziness.

Oh by the way, like I said a few days ago, try and avoid making threads like this yes? Try posting stuff like this on 4chans /pol/ instead.
