Did you expect to convert me to racism?
I expected (hoped?) you'd educate yourself a bit; there's a wealth of information and research and theory on this subject so it's not like you have an excuse to so wildly misuse terminology which is well-known and well-defined. Continuing to use "racism" without defining what race is is cartoonish but I did hope for more from you; I guess, at least, good faith. Oh, well.
For others who come across this thread and would like creators who sometimes cover these topics with some depth, here's some video essayists:

Bro doesn't know the definition of race and thinks I'm the one who needs educating.
