      Not a conservative, and I’ve heard people in person argue that racism requires you to hold power, ergo you can’t be racist against white people, since they’ve got all the power.

      Is it everyone on the left that believes it, obviously not. But there is a very loud segment that does.

        When the word is used in an academic or legal context, that’s what it means. It’s not a “belief”, it’s the definition.

        “Believing” that bigotry without systemic power is racism is just playing idiotic semantic games. You know what they mean and yet you’re trying to communicate badly on purpose to “win”.

        It’s just an imbecilic fascist word game, and you’re either complicit or you fell for it.
