    Oh no, sociologists! Good thing they’re a hivemind, and all have the same opinion on definitions.

    If your argument is that you’re using the wrong word which ultimately means the same thing, then it’s not much of an argument. It’s pretty clear you’re trying to downplay racism to be more acceptable

      Well, every one I’ve talked to agreed with all the other ones on this matter, so again I say take it up with them, not the guy who disagrees with it who told you what their consensus on the matter is. Shoot the messenger much?

      My argument is actually that sociology classes teach it, call your local school board and complain, I’m not in the education system, I can do exactly fuck all about it, like I said when I tried to argue I got suspended (and on top of that got my 360 taken away for a month for being suspended no less!) Trust me I’m on your side, your beef is with academia who are the people pushing the narrative. What, do you think I registered sociologydefinitions.zip or whatever that site was? Really?

          It’s the sociology department of academia pushing it, not me. I merely said “well in school they taught me this” (and “I got in trouble for fighting it” no less) and now we’re here, calm down. If anything you should be outraged this is what they’re teaching in sociology classes in America, not mad that I told you this is what they’re teaching in sociology classes in America.

          In fact, find me one time in this thread I “defended” their claims. I believe you’ll find that not one time did that occur, I repeatedly said shit like “hey I agree, but sociology teachers would be mad at both of us, because like I say they kicked me out for sharing your opinion.” Quite clearly I hold the same opinion as you, so I guess we’re both defending racism then.

              My comment or the concept of racism as seen by sociology? Because those are different answer.

              Edit: Here, you still think I made this shit up? Have another sociologist source that this is indeed what they claim.

              https://openstax.org/books/introduction-sociology-3e/pages/11-3-prejudice-discrimination-and-racism

              Prejudice refers to the beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and attitudes someone holds about a group.

              Racism is a stronger type of prejudice and discrimination used to justify inequalities against individuals by maintaining that one racial category is somehow superior or inferior to others; it is a set of practices used by a racial dominant group to maximize advantages for itself by disadvantaging racial minority groups.

              Like it or not this is what they teach. And no, it’s not racist for me to tell you that they teach this in schools. Ffs.

                  Yup I tried that one, they said

                  “No you have to look up the sociological definition.”

                  “Why?”

                  “Because.”

                  They don’t teach the regular one in schools, they teach the sociological one, and you get in trouble for questioning it (if you’re me, anyway.)
