A have a very simple definition of racism. If you treat someone differently because of their race, then that is racism. What is your problem with that definition?

You’re right. It is a very simple definition.

It captures everything. I am glad you agree that it is much better than the definition you provided.

OK, so you and GT agree that there is a good definition of racism. But in tracing back through the exchanges between you, GT, and estesbob, I see that eb’s claim was that racism as a term is meaningless (“whatever the Left wants it to be”). So apparently you and GT agree that eb was wrong about that. So the only question that remains is whether or not Trumps comments have been, as Joie claimed, racist. Sadly, I have not seen in this long exchange over definitions, any addressing of the substance of Joie’s claim. Now that you and GT agree on a definition of racism, why not try to use that common starting point as a basis to support your point or refute Joie’s?

Why should we accept their definition?

Under that definition Hillary Clinton is a racist because she supports majority minority congressional districts and affirmative action

If I may piggy back on that, I think that in this matter the left has little interest in convincing people from the other side – they’re all about getting people who are already leaning their way to join them completely, aka go off the deep end. 😉
The flip side of that, of course, is that they pretend that every person on the right thinks exactly like every other person on the right.

Identity politics in general are more racist and more insidious than anything that is called as racism these days.

We would have to have specific comments to make judgments on. It depends on the comments. It is very possible that Donald could have racist comments, but someone would have to produce the alleged comments. According to our accepted definition, anyone who supports affirmative action is by definition racist. So I cannot vote for Hillary because of her racism. I am not sure whether I can vote for Donald at this point.

GT didn’t say that it was a good definition.
S/he only said it was a simple definition.

To be fair, I asked if he or she had a problem with it and the poster did not raise any issues. So until they criticize the definition, I think it is safe to say that they agree with the definition.
 
Affirmative action is racist/and or sexist.

It is a thoroughly Democratic position.

After all it is Joe Biden who claimed that the republicans “Are going to have you’all in chains”, which is Joe playing the race card with no justification whatsoever.

Very good then.

You are right. The opportunity to raise objections was there for sure.
Dollars to dimes people who vote Democrat will not like where that definition is leading to nevertheless.

People who vote for democrats want a vague definition of racism. Because racism is a profitable strategy for them. What they count on is a docile public to not raise questions and expose the fact that the emperor has no clothes.

Racism is what the ‘other guy does’, according to the belief system of Democrats.

The fact that one even considers not voting for someone like Hillary is probably considered racist or sexist. Never mind if you never bought her story on the cattle futures, that is probably the result of racism or sexism.
 
Yes, as in the baked good. An elementary school in New Jersey allegedly called the police on a third grader for talking about brownies — yes, as in the baked good — over concerns that the word “brownies” may have been a racial slur. According to the student’s mother, her nine-year-old son was participating in a conversation about the bakery treat during his end-of-the-year class party at William P. Tatem Elementary School on June 16 when another student remarked that his comment was racist. Rather than explain to the accusing student that the name of the baked good is a generally accepted term and not racially charged whatsoever, the school actually called the police. Yes — the police.

You assume too much. No agreement was implied. I think my definition covered more than a 3rd grade reading level.
