Just bear in mind that terms like "Racism" are semantic fraud. Those using them are either morons or malicious.
Simply try to have people define what "racism" is and what it isn't and you may see what I mean.
Example for what?
1. If a term can have several even contradicting meanings, using it is a means of deception.
2. If you still use a term and you know this, then you are malicious.
3. If you don't know it and still use it, you are a moron.
Examples for what Racism can mean:
1. Believing that there are racial differences between people and population groups (rather obviously the case, although there is lots of denial of this).
2. Having a preference of your own racial/ethnic group.
2. Hating other ethnic/racial groups.
4. Wanting to oppress other racial groups (e.g. "White Supremacy")
5. Wanting to separate from other racial groups.
Now if you separate from other groups, you can not oppress them. Separatists don't want to rule a large political entity, they want to secceed from it.
You can love your group and hate others of course... But the one doesn't follow from the other. You can love your group and and be loving to others or simply indifferent. Most folks are like this with regards to their family. Imagine a dad loving his kids, taking care of them, being accused of being hateful... The hate could be demonstrated of course by showing footage where he beats up people that want to harm his kids, right?
So it is a fraud. It's an example of loaded language, too. How was the loading done:
* Linking negative events to "Racism".
* Having academics write about "Racism" in a negative way.
* Producing movies were White folks were mean to non-White folks for no reason at all. Claim that the movie is 'based on true events'.
Reality tends to be a bit more complicated, though.
I recall a 1950 academic booklet that was about (racial) prejudice. It didn't use the term "Racism" ones. In literature a book by a certain Magnus Hirschfeld was the first book to have the word "Racism" in the title.
I can link you to that kind of literature. It shows that the whole "racism" thing only started mid 20th century. Previously it wasn't really an issue. People accepted that there are difference between humans... And of course that their own nation was associated with a certain race, they also belonged to. Some where more explicit about this than others. Germany being an example, but so was the US., South Africa, Australia, etc. More homogenous weren't so explicit about it. For Swedes it was self-evident that there fellow Swedes were Whites.. Same applies to virtually all European countries... There nationality issues were more linked to language and religion. Pretty much everyone accepted that culture was a function of race or heredity. Gustave le Bon is perhaps the most explicit writer on this with his "psychology of races". It's a very insightful book.
Of course to a woke audience... All those old White folks were racist and they were to blame for all problems in the world.
That those 'old, white folks' made it possible for billions of people to live on this planet, they won't mention of course. In fact, they have a problem with that, too ("climate change").
