Oh? Show me where that's the majority opinion.
I suppose I can dig up Smurfette's old Tumblr thread if you want. Or perhaps one of those Flame and Burn threads in which you yourself were quite vehemently pushing that idea.
Also we've already had the discussion about different views of what racism means that didn't rely on what people like Riley thinks it means, but I guess we're gonna just write that off as irrational right? Political incorrectness gone mad, I tells ya.
The thing is, language doesn't work that way. Words have commonly accepted definitions which, believe it or not, you can't just arbitrarily redefine them to suit your own views and still expect to be taken seriously.
I am quite aware that I pushed that idea, in fact I've already pushed that idea in this very thread. (I have reading comprehension and memory privilege, am I right?) To which I pointed out:
1. You didn't have to accept that definition, only understand the position it comes from (a colonial one, fyi).
2. Describing discrimination against people of color as racist while describing discrimination against white people as something else doesn't diminish the fact that discrimination against white people is still bad. It's just stating they are different based context. The blogs I follow recognizes that, not that you'd care.
Also the idea that a word doesn't have different meaning is linguistically preposterous. If you'd bother to understand cultural linguistics (TW: showing my learning privilege), different groups and circles will have different understand of words. Words aren't stagnant. They evolve. If you don't believe the English you're speaking had better be the same as Beowulf's English.
I love how you assume I in any way represent SJW. Take a look at my blog, I'm fairly sure it isn't SJW. But this is what I mean though that SJW has become a way to dismiss people's concern. A woman talks about harrasment? She's an SJW. A native person talks about their culture in the global context? SJW. Anything that makes you think or uncomfortable? SJW.
Honestly, you're just as bad as Riley or Redd or Dion with your insistence of dismissing evidence, your staunch clinging on shitty behavior, and your inability to discern what is black or white and what isn't. You're not some grand wise man and the world doesn't need to cater to your sense of superiority.
Edit: Oh God, Schrödinger's Rapist again? We've already settle that in the Elevatorgate threads.
