[QUOTE="Bradskii, post: 77662572, member: 412388"] I think we should stick with the concept of racism as being a negative. That it exhibits a negative attitude towards people who are different re ethnic background. If I suggest that we should do more for Aborigine people in Australia then using the term racist for that is nonsensical. The position argued against was that the two examples given in the relevant post, which didn't include crt, were racist. The argument against that I just put forward above. So 'Hey everyone, we all have to consider aspects of racist behaviour which we might not be aware' is an attempt to [I]secure [/I]a superior position? This might be just me, but it seems that you are asking people to accept that perhaps their social position shouldn't be assumed based on their where their family originated. That it isn't relevant to their social position. If that's racist, then the word has been redefined while I wasn't paying attention. [/QUOTE]
