@TFOBananas @ses101 @jiemiev @thejcoop I don't know if you're deliberately trying to not get the point or are in argumentation mode or what.
Yes, I understand what some people generally say is "racism", and what you think is "racism". I grew up in the 90s, I don't have some lack of knowledge.

@TFOBananas @ses101 @jiemiev @thejcoop Words are a series of phonems / letters. The only substantive meaning in a word is HOW ITS USED, not some formal definition either in a dictionary, in your head, or even some general social consensus on what the "formal definition" is.
@TFOBananas @ses101 @jiemiev @thejcoop If someone invented a net, and said it was a "fish catching net", but it only ever caught Octopuses, would you continue to call it a "fish-catching net"? "Fish-catching net" is the formal label, formal defintion: net that catches all fish. Reality: only catches octopuses.
@TFOBananas @ses101 @jiemiev @thejcoop Then you learn that this net was designed by someone who had a deep-seated hatred of octopuses. Then you say people who use this net to only catch octopuses are using the net improperly and fixated on octopuses?
