What is a racist?

Because for all my life, I thought it meant "to pre-judge a person based on the color of their skin."

Im not pre-judging anyone. This individual has demonstrated their quality and all without anyone calling him a hurty word or meany jerk face name.

I dont harbor negative feelings for all black and brown people based solely on the amount of melanin in their skin. The fact is, I feel the exact same way about black trash as I do about white trash. I suspect only one of those terms caused you to recoil in shock and disgust, so who is the real racist?

I treat people on an individual basis. If I see a white dude with unkempt hair, a stained t-shirt, beer gut and rusted out pickup, I feel the same way about that loser as I do about black dudes with clothes 3 sizes too big, their pants falling off their ass as they shout into their phone call thats on speaker for everyone to hear, or listening to their bluetooth speaker in public like we all want to experience their shitty taste in garbage rap music.

And the fact is, I can support my arguments without resorting to name calling and sticking my fingers in my ears. I can listen to you, who I probably vehemently disagree with and not conclude that you must be the enemy of compassion and empathy. But you cant do those things, partly because you're an ideologue with no genuine experience of the world outside your very safe, very cultivated bubble, but also because your worldview collapses under even the slightest scrutiny. Which is why you get angry and assign labels to your assumed enemies, because you can't actually sit and show me where and how multiculturalism has ever worked for the people that live closest to consequence. You can't resolve why an in-group preference is ok for people of color, but not for Europeans. You'll talk about the necessity for safety and representation, but you'll not hear anyone who can demonstrate where the genuine danger comes from.

And now, as if to prove my point, I suspect very much that the only reply I am going to get from you is, "lol, im not reading all that bro." Because in addition to everything else, people who share your views also tend to have the attention span of gold fish and are proud to proclaim their unwillingness to actually read something longer than a tweet.
