This shouldn't really need to be said, but because it comes up a lot in my day job in AI research regarding systematic bias, I think there needs to be better clarity on what racism actually is.
Racism isn't "white guys can jump" and it also isn't "black guys have better BB genes"
Racism is when you are denied an interview because your name sounds black or your property value is less than your white neighbor because of unconscious biases.
It's a systemic subjugation issue.
I any case, we all know in our hearts what is best, and if we don't that is another more serious issue.
BTW @BALDNAZI - I was a skinhead too in the 80s
Except we were straightedge and terrorized the newly-arrived Nazi skins.
