Maybe we should have like 1st degree, 2nd degree, 3rd degree racism.....or maybe aggravated racism?I would hope it would be definitive when using that term in such a case. I don't see the need in calling it "unintentional racism" or leaving just a slight idea it may not require intent to make him a racist. That can cheapen the term (which isn't fair to the legitimate actions and words that occur) nor to the person that got the label.
My brother had a massive fro. He graduated in '81. It was so large and he wanted it in the school annual that the photographer had to zoom out. Made his face really small by comparison. Looked really weird compared to the other kids' pics. In his defense, it was a beautiful fro.
And what is McMom's input on that?Of course. How demeaning it is to you for her to even HINT that you're getting any sexual thrill from this scientific study. How dare she, sir. She is epitome of selfishness. I feel sorry for her. Your interest...nay your responsibility...is to science and the greater good.

I said that unless morality is based in the objective, it's not actually right or wrong. He/she argued for three pages to prove that morality is not based in the objective, so isn't actually right or wrong.
--shrug--
Morality is about right and wrong no matter where it’s based. It’s either about subjective right and wrong or objective right and wrong, but either is right and wrong.
I said subjective from the very beginning, you disagreed and claimed that it had to be objective, then spent several posts trying to define morality as “objective right and wrong” when that’s not what it means.
You've changed the definition of moral right/wrong from "just/unjust" to preferences
And you haven't even grasped the fact that making racism definition of morality as personal preference, you've belittled the thought of racidm as wrong.
I took my wife to Istanbul years ago and the local girls wanted to touch her blond hair because they believed it was good luck and would give them blue eyed babies. BFD.So when a white blonde goes to Mexico and they get their hair touched it's racist? It has nothing to do with the fact it's just "different" ....right? It has to be because the hair touchers feel they are superior .... right? Because you've always got to be a victim? It must suck to think everyone is out to get you or always has an ulterior motive.
So what's you r stand on the confiscation of white farmers' lands in South Africa? Wrong? OK? Opinion? Racist?The ramifications of my claims have absolutely never been that the Nazis were right because they decided they were right. That decision only means that they were right to them. That’s as broad as it goes to anyone with reading comprehension
