      My comment or the concept of racism as seen by sociology? Because those are different answer.

      Edit: Here, you still think I made this shit up? Have another sociologist source that this is indeed what they claim.

      https://openstax.org/books/introduction-sociology-3e/pages/11-3-prejudice-discrimination-and-racism

      Prejudice refers to the beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and attitudes someone holds about a group.

      Racism is a stronger type of prejudice and discrimination used to justify inequalities against individuals by maintaining that one racial category is somehow superior or inferior to others; it is a set of practices used by a racial dominant group to maximize advantages for itself by disadvantaging racial minority groups.

      Like it or not this is what they teach. And no, it’s not racist for me to tell you that they teach this in schools. Ffs.

          Yup I tried that one, they said

          “No you have to look up the sociological definition.”

          “Why?”

          “Because.”

          They don’t teach the regular one in schools, they teach the sociological one, and you get in trouble for questioning it (if you’re me, anyway.)
