    Hahaha that’s some 1984 level thinking.

    Racism is discrimination against someone because of race. Not because of race unless it’s a white guy.

    You are going to argue if some serial killer was caught and it was a black guy that has been killing white men because in his words he hates white people. That would magically be not racist?

      Have you read 1984? I’m not really following the 1984 reference.

      Racism is about a belief in racial superiority or inferiority. So I guess it depends why the hypothetical serial killer hates white people.

      Does he believe his race is superior to the white race and that’s why he’s killing white people, like a one man genocide? Then yes.

        Winston Smith literal job is to change the history books. If we have been at war with Eastasia but then big brother says we have been at war with eurAsia and at peace with Eastasia then we have ALWAYS been at war with eurasia and peace with eastasia. So their can be no record of anything saying otherwise.

        You’re making out the defintion has always been something it hasn’t.

        Racism can be one race is better than the other. But the defintion of prejudice against a certain race due to the color of a persons skin has been in the dictionary for the duration of our lives I’m sure.

        There is no way that it says racism: prejudice against a certain race due to the color of a persons skin unless that skin colour is white then its not racism
