I’ll agree that assholes exist in all races. Power is a necessary component to being a racist. So, in the US white males are the racist because they have power. The others races are simply venting and in some cases acting like asses.

So question for you. I’m Latina, female lgbtq and have a disability. Does that mean I can’t be racist because I’m quadrupley oppressed? Not that I would but what if I say a slur against an African American…is that racist? If I say it it’s not racist but if a white person says it it is? How about a slur against an Asian straight male…that racist? How about against a person of Arabic descent? What if the Arabic person makes a slur against me…that racist? If I paint a swastika in front of my Jewish neighbors house…is that racist? My family is South American descent..what if I make a slur against a Mexican person…that racist? What if the Mexican person is straight? What if the Mexican person is both straight and male? If an African American makes a slur against a Native American is that racist? Genuinely curious how this hierarchy thing works in your mind. ^\_(;?)_/^

Ps does it make any difference that My genetic tests have shown that I’m 1/4 Native American….now it’s native South American and native Caribbean indigenous but nevertheless indigenous…or does it only count if it’s indigenous North yAmerican…and why isn’t acknowledging that line on the artificial Mexican border not racist itself…after all my ancestors weren’t driven into reservations in the 19th century but they were practically wiped out by my other ancestors in the 18th???

The Diverse Classroom Library initiative is a program launched by the Loudon Country Democratic Comittee in 2019. As layers have been peeled back, it's become somewhat controverial. The content in some of the books for grade schoolers is suspect. So suspect in fact that when some parents read from the books during a board meeting, the board members had them stop reading because they felt the words were inappropriate. T

How have I lied about you? Don't be so sensitive. Don't you frame everything with Trump as the backdrop? Appearances are very partisan in nature. Your sidekick is 100% partisan, everythring through a partisan lens. Humorous at times but leaves little room for intellectual engagement.

I have been for years generally non-partisan, but the extremes of t's behavior made me a Democrat for a day.

...great point! It appears when one is a victim they get to make up the rules.

You do realize that those that have been oppressed and persecuted (the powerless) are rightfully pissed off and not prejudice. Here’s what Oxford says:

rac·ist
/ˈrāsəst/
Learn to pronounce
adjective
prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
"we are investigating complaints about racist abuse"
noun
a person who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
"he has been targeted by vicious racists online"

...from that, you got this:

"So, in the US white males are the racist because they have power."

...even more telling, from that... you're the victim?

... I'll close with a famous line from the oppressed and persecuted..."Great job Pal!"

Did you notice that no part of your definition mentions the word “power”? It’s not in there.

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?

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.

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.
