This is just a variant of the “I don’t see race” argument. When they say black and we say racist, we’re talking about a social construct, not pure biology. The cop and hiring manager still see people as black. Us refusing to use the word for this construct makes it harder - not easier - to address at a systemic level.
It’s racist that we continue to use racial identifiers even though race science was debunked as pseudoscience some time ago.
Lol imagine believing this and still thinking you’re not mentally ill.
I know you are, but what am I?
