Everyone can have a gun; thus making your "with power" clause irrelevant. IP to attempt a rescue in 3, 2, 1...
Other than the fact that it's been noted on a number of occasions in this thread that it can be applied to minorities, but, **** it, why ruin your agenda, huh?
Ok then why use that caveat in the first place? The hate whitey professor pulling the agenda card is hilarious btw
If applied fairly, there's nothing wrong with his definition. It doesn't minimize racism by minorities under the way Uni has been using it in this discussion. He's been fair about it.
Because it is like saying that racism is prejudice "with water" (or anything else available to all). Why have the caveat?
Because there's a large discrepancy between types of prejudice. For an extreme example, a slave who hated white people is at a much different degree of prejudice than a slave owner who hated black people. Saying they're both racist isn't an accurate representation of their status or situation. And, again, it isn't like prejudice is good or irrelevant when someone is "merely" prejudiced. It just means they aren't able to use their prejudice against anyone to any effect.
Then not just say there are different levels of racism? When you say certain people aren't racist you can't see how that appears to downplay their actions to something inconsequential.
If I taught economics i certainly wouldn't be offended if you called me a supply and demand professor.
Because it's entirely reasonable to use different words to describe different situations. If some people can't, don't want or are unable to determine the difference, that doesn't mean the word loses it's meaning.
I'm kind of thinking that one has a little more of a negative connotation than the other and more representative of an agenda, as well.
