Theres enough racist people that hes a candidate
Thats it, lets stop putting our heads in the sand with ‘economic anxiety’
the system of racialism, which was invented in the 17th century.
And that’s somehow not White Supremacism?
Other forms of sectarian prejudice existed beforehand. Not racism
Not my fault you don’t know the historical literature and are redefining clearly defined words
“Its not racism without race science” is meaningless pedantry. If we accept your definitions then the broader topic of “sectarian prejudice” is the greater issue than your narrow definition to the current flavor of “sectarian prejudice”. Your prioritizing dealing with racism as an ideology and not dealing with its material causes.
“It’s not racism without race” is what you meant. Literally no concept of the ideas of “races” until this time. There cannot be prejudice along lines which are not yet drawn. This isn’t needless pedantry, this is fundamental to understanding what racism is and how to address it.
