I’m sitting here watching people from every point of the political compass argue if a post indicates that the person uttering them is a racist.

Then I asked myself, by what definition of Racist are they judging these statements.

Perhaps we are using several definitions that are not the same.
So…I’m going to judge the statements by this old one, and then see what I come up with

Perhaps other posters could share which definition they are using when they attempt to determine if a quote is racist or not.
It might clear up some confusion as to what the guideline is that someone is using.

Might take me a while to read and form an opinion on all these.
