That is my definition of 'racist', and it's based on the meaning of words. I'm not sure why I'd want to be exempt from accurately perceiving reality, so of course I'm racist...

using group chricteristics to judge individuals

The characteristics just help 'identify' the individuals most likely to possess the abilities and qualities you either want or don't want. FBI statistics offer some insights into those details.

A lucky win in a casino doesn't mean you should sell your house and put it all on black, just as finding a magic negro doesn't mean you'll ever be that lucky again. People who ignore statistics and probabilities generally end up losing.

based on the meaning of words.

The claim that one side has ownership of the definition of words is a lie, and is a common tactic used by leftists to claim credibility when they have none.

It is like antifa claiming they are anti fascist because that is the meaning of thier name when all their actions contradict that claim.

Or trans activists changing the definition of words like gender to then argue that thier claims, and only thier claims, are in line with the definitions of the words.

The reality is if you want to have any real, valuable conversations on these topics you can't start with stupid definitions of key words that make them meaningless. Your definition is stupid and prevents any resolution to these conflicts.

Your definition is stupid and prevents any resolution to these conflicts.

So you're wanting to change the definitions to be more convenient?

To be more reasonable, usefull, and meaningful.

I'm going to stick with reality over 'reasonable and useful'. You described yourself in your above comment.

This response indicates that you don't understand the concept of words. Words exist in order to be useful. There is nothing "real" about your useless definition.

Words exist in order to be useful.

Words exist in order to accurately convey information.

There is nothing more accurate about an overly broad and useless definition. It is in fact less accurate the broader it is.

Thanks for illustrating the problems with our educational system. Good luck with your struggles.
