Nope. You contradict yourself like you were in 1984.
The year or book? Because if you mean the year would make no sense and if you mean the book, you clearly don’t understand what that book is about. There is a rather large irony in claiming that a core word has recently been redefined, but then accusing somebody who says it hasn’t of acting like they’re in 1984.
You changed the wording of my argument. You are being untruthful. I said expanded and you said watered down. Those are not the same.
You are intentionally lying to people in an attempt to make your point.
Show your work or keep silent.
Ah. You’re one of those. “Agree or be quiet.” You have an opinion, your opinion is fact, and anybody who doesn’t accept that should shut up. Not at all surprised to find the self-examination that comes with words like “privilege” and “racism” is beyond your abilities with an attitude like that.
Well, I said that the only people who claim that the definition has expanded are those who don’t want to examine how their behavior overlaps with what is considered privilege or racism, but would rather accuse others of moving the goalpost making others the problem and thus being able to avoid accountability.
You know, like telling people to “show their work or keep silent.”
Then I said your watered down definition of racism was never just “judging based on race.” Thus proving that the issue isn’t that the definition expanded, but that you have a poor understanding of it and what it means and when you find it isn’t so basic, you think things have changed when in reality you’ve simply been educated with a fact most of us already knew.
Since it was your initial (baseless) claim was that the words are modern and the definitions have expanded over the years, I could have done the juvenile “show your work” baloney you’re fond of… But since I *clearly* know more about the topic than you, have a better understanding of social history than you, and me asking you to prove something that I know to be unprovable (because you made it up) is a waste of time, I simply cut to the chase to tell you that you’re wrong.
