Racism is violence. It is theft of wages and wealth. It is unjustified cruelty. It is justification and rationalization of literal murders. It hurts ever single person so targeted and attempting to justify that is part of that same dynamic.

Racism includes believing that your freedom from diversity is more important than other people's lives.

Personal preference, bias, prejudice, and common-sense (e.g., awareness of danger), are not the same thing, nor are interchangeable with systemic racism, nor hysterical racism.

Also, a person's life being more important than others is a basic product of consciousness.
