Optimist and Neicy81, are we going to argue about the definition of the word racism again?

I think we established that different people have different meanings of the word. You are not going to change their mind, nor are they going to change yours.

Arguing over whether or not a specific incident is racism is pointless when you can't even agree on a definition.
