Then by your definition all the Muslims are Settler Colonists as they didn't exist until long past Jews did.
- Nope it is a genocide. The UN Special Report - Anatomy of a Genocide along with the cases at the ICJ beg to differ.
- I have never called for Jews to go back to Europe - that is an outright lie. I said they are settler colonialists from Europe, which is true. It is also a matter of historical fact, that Americans and Canadians and Australians are settler colonialists. I mean you may not be, because you were born here, and I am not either, because I immigrated, but the original inhabitants of Canada and the US were not white people or even black people. They were indigeneous people and there were no countries called Canada or the USA. These were formed subsequently by settler colonialists so it is a statement of fact that these are two colonial nations. I dont say this about Europe though, which is also "Western".
- Because it isn't as much of a concern given the short duration of Pride and the very few people who do it.
- Your criticisms should be based on actual knowledge of said medical procedures, or atleast cite peer reviewed studies to make a point. Making points based on how you feel about transgender folks, is basically an expression of your own biases, which is why it is rightfully called transphobic.
- Sure. India is racist as well. I agree. It ought not to be and we should do more to raise awareness and educate people. But we are not in India. We are in Canada. Where racism is alive and well. So let us tackle our problems here and leave India's problems to Indians who live in India.
Nope. Not just physical differences.
There are others that I am sure I have missed. But this is just off the top of my head.
- Discrimination, hostility, differential treatment, differential application of laws etc against individuals of a particular skin colour, ethnic group, religious group, caste, sect, or any other demographic characteristic is racism.
- Appreciation or exoticization of individuals of a particular skin colour, ethnic group, religious group, caste, sect or any other demographic characteristic is racism.
- Discrimination, hostility, or stereotyping individuals of a particular culture, or assuming behavioural traits based on these stereotypes, is xenophobia, which is also racism because that inevitably leads to #1.
- Supremacist political movements such as ultra-nationalism, Nazism, Zionism, which others and divides people, based on certain demographic characteristics, are racist and rely on racism to advance their argument.
Oh and also:
The Dictionary Definition of 'Racism' Has to Change
Dictionaries can lag behind societal developments, and the idea that a “word” indisputably “means” what dictionaries say is simply sloppy.www.theatlantic.com
And thanks for proving I'm right by stating you think the definition should change. It shouldn't by the way. You just need to use the correct terms.
