This is indeed the big problem with the word “racism.” It means so many different things that it leaves no room for nuance or anything specific. It’s a catch-all term to ostracize and denigrate any and all White people for any reason. We can’t get our message across by accepting that label for ourselves or using it to describe our own position.
It works like this:
If you don’t want your people to be a minority within your respective country, you are racist!
If you want to have your own society, for your people, you are a racist!
If you believe that race is real, and that there are biological differences in brain development between human subspecies, you are racist!
At first, it seems like we might as well call ourselves “racists” but…
This accusation of racism, by definition, also lumps you in with all the fictional, Hollywood-created cartoonish caricatures of the trailer-trash, skinhead, swastika-forehead -tattooed neo-nazis that you’d see on Jerry Springer that would insist they are just full of hate over skin color.
Our position has to be that “racism” as a word/concept never had any real meaning at all. It ultimately means nothing because it’s so nebulous.
