The goal is simple - individual discrimination and systemic discrimination are fundamentally different things. And systemic discrimination is what has been used to oppress minorities in the US for as long as the US has existed. Indeed, I believe the opposite position (that all discrimination against all people based on race is racism) is the underhanded approach, as it waters down the concerns around systemic discrimination by emphasizing the individual discrimination over the systemic discrimination. Discrimination against someone based on race is wrong. Full stop. But it's critical we understand that what Black people in America face isn't just a few individuals with backwards ideas. It's fundamentally and categorically different than a few people hating me because I'm white. |

Your position is racist and perpetuates racism.
