Sexism and racism is inherently linked to power, in such a way that women can't (really) be sexist towards men, and black people can't (really) be racist towards white people.
Yes there are exceptions, I don't want someone to bring up some 3,000 year old civilization that was dominated by black people where they had more privilege.
Racism and sexism are inherently a privilege issue, you can bring up all the cases you want of hate crimes against men from extremists or hate crimes against white people from black people - but it's not racism.
It's discrimination.
If you want to make a case against this then you can prove that women have more privilege than men, or that black people have more privilege than white people.
Maybe it's sad to say that this is primarily the american scope that I'm speaking of, I'm an american so I'm more in tune with american politics and the racial scope in this area.
Arguing about the definition of a buzzword that's taken on a life of it's own in the collective consciousness of America is silly. No one cares about what racism is, really. They're not contemplating word meanings, what people care about is whether or not it's OK for black people to look down on white people because they're white or not.
there are obvious differences between men and women and i believe that "stereotypes" have been created for both with clear history of it happening a lot, is that any excuse to treat any of the genders like "not manly enough" or "not feminine enough" bla bla?? obviously not.... but i still expect full equality nonetheless because it's unfair otherwise
As far as epicmafia is concerned the holocaust never happened

you can't even write a shorthand term for nationalist socialist on EM because of how terrible the swear filter is, I'm kind of glad it doesn't extend to usernames.
Look I read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged and I can assure you that as an intelligent, powerful white man I am under constant threat of oppression by our tyrannical government run by communists, feminists, and other people who like black people.
