...I'll say it again, when you're a victim you get to make up the rules...or in this case, the definitions.

...this is Brilliant!
... unfortunately, all this nonsense will twist mine & other multi-racial kids in knots.
Here’s another question for him: so English descended whites used to oppress and treat badly the Irish. Was that racist because it involves power? And so when did the Irish lose the ability to have people who slurred them be declared racist…with the election of John kennedy? And if so why didn’t Barak Obama do the same thing for African Americans…is it because he’s mostly African descent post slavery? Does that mean because the Irish were oppressed they weren’t racist when they turned around and oppressed Italian Americans? And when exactly did Jewish people lose the ability to have people declared racist against them…as recently as my childhood I remember my Jewish friend had his house toilet papered and a cross burnt on his lawn…racist then but not racist now?

...again, Brilliant! You should write a book these...put me down for one of the first signed copies.
You know in retrospect when the crazy straight white french male came after me with a taser in the park for training my dog with the Cesar Milan no nonsense method instead of his progressive positivity method, I should have told him he was being racist and mansplaining me and being generally bigoted for daring to complain about how I train my dog.

First, we are talking about racism so I don’t see how your sexual orientation or disability status is relevant.
Second, aren’t you a Chilean of Spanish descent?
Third, You have the definition and are a learned legal scholar so, you will have to weave the facts with the definition.
Fourth, as I mentioned up thread it’s possible to be an ass and not be racist. Again do the analysis.

Exhibit 1 of a person acting like a jackass. Can you define marginalized?

I am 1/4 Spanish basque, 1/4 mixed Andalusian with some Jewish blood thrown in, 1/4 Peruvian creole, 1/4 indigenous.
I gave you a bunch of facts because I told you I can’t do it. Ok disregard my sex disability or lgbtq status. Tell me how to apply the principles in the various scenarios. Can I not be racist against someone Jewish, African American, Native American, Asian, Arabic or even Mexican descent?
you’re ducking the question.
I woke to go potty and decided to catch up on the latest Jab news. Instead, we got race & bait for $100. I feel picked on. Im white as can be. I am Scottish Highlander before I am white though. Baby Boy Kirk. My greatest of great grandpas from long ago got his land ripped from him and he took off to North Carolina. I love all colors of people. Grace T, please send me a sign copy of your book. Great stuff and way to debate the boys.
Australians are not amused by American commentators calling it a "police state" because of its rigid covid controls --
“Australia is a police state” says country where police are 17 times more likely to murder civilians — The Shovel
"Police murdering people is so common, each month needs its own Wikipedia entry".www.theshovel.com.au
Australia has been labelled a “police state” by far-right pundits who live in a country where police murdering people is so common, each month needs its own Wikipedia entry.
The talking heads, all living in the United States – a country where the incarceration rate is four times higher than Australia’s, and where 1 in every 150 citizens is in jail, the highest rate in the world – have criticised Australia’s approach to managing the COVID-19 pandemic, calling it “tyrannical” without even the slightest hint of irony.

Marginalized? Jackass? I decline your offer to change the topic.
The point being discussed is that “racism”, by your own definition, has nothing at all do do with power, and everything to do with animosity, prejudice, and antagonism.
Kendi wants to change that definition so that certain ethnic groups are bad and other ethic groups are better. That is straight up, old school racism which has no place in our schools at any level.

As you can see he was projecting earlier when he called someone a "whiney little bitch".
isn’t using the b word sexist? Is being sexist somehow less morally wrong than being racist?
for that matter isn’t macdre telling me that my lgbtq oppression doesn’t really matter as far as power hierarchies are concerned also bigoted? I’m assuming he is straight and a guy (though I want to be careful about gender assuming so maybe I should refer to him as xhe?)…but shouldn’t I be outraged xhe discounted my lgbtq status (a status for which I’ve experienced far more discrimination than my race)?
Mac Dre has yet to articulate how we differentiate the hierarchy of oppression among people (is it by blood percentage, self declared status, historical grievance….and who out ranks who) or if there even is a hierarchy (can white people be racist against each other…does that mean nonwhites can’t be racist even against each other and have a complete pass) but I have some bad news for you crush while we await macdre s ruling.
As a Scotsman potentially the only people who can be racist against you are those pesky English descendants (most likely dar members)…man I always knew those English were the worst of the worst what with king George and all his what whatting…even the Irish and poles have a leg up on you…sorry bud.

Now, you are just making stuff up. I posted Oxfords definition of racist. You were acting like a jackass when you said the word power was not in the definition.
I pointed out that the word marginalized was in Oxfords definition of racist and asked you to define it since you were acting hella lame.
So, can you define marginalized? I’m waiting smarty pants.
MacDre

You are dumb. I simply stated that your sexual orientation and disability was not relevant to the analysis on racist. In other words, sexism is a separate and distinct issue.
MacDre

More dumb shit. If you have a problem with the way Oxford defines racist, take it up with them. Don’t kill the messenger!!!
And I accepted your explanation for that at least arguendo
again can I be racist against a person of Jewish, Arab, Asian, African American, Native American or Mexican decent? If so what’s the hierarchy, or do I just get a free pass since I’m oppressed? Can white people be racist against each other? Can an African American be racist against a Native American?
you are still ducking my question
