This is a definition people really struggle with… systems of power and how they’ve historically created racism is something that takes a minute to absorb. And it requires being uncomfortable so it’s much easier for people to define racism and discrimination as one and the same.

We don't struggle with it. We disagree on the definition of racism. We're not stupid just because we disagree with you. How fucking arrogant can you be?
