Stating what's obvious by simple definition is something of a waste of time. Or is there a more nuanced difference between racism/sexism and discrimination on grounds of race/sex? Do you have anything to add beyond a simple statement of fact according to your definition? Perhaps a view on whether or not that's axiomatically always a bad thing?

I think that racists and sexists like those behind this fund have gone too long without being told that their bigotry is unacceptable. I think that in the main they want to do the right thing. They need to be told explicitly that racism and sexism are never ok. I hope that if decent people keep saying this and acting on this all racism and sexism can one day be consigned to history.
