The real racists are the ones who treat black people like children.
I've noticed that most of the SJW types don't actually know many black people and this is their way to make themselves feel better about their own privilege.
It's not their fault as they most likely lived in posher areas when growing up.
I treat black people as my equals, which to the SJW's is the worst type of racism because somehow its not taking racism into account.

He has apologised leave it alone!

Not sure who wrote it but the definition of racism clearly states the group being victimised is 'typically' in a minority it does not state that the victim of racism has to be in the minority!

He has not apologised for the bullst definition of racism. Not surprising really as it is the view of most of the 'woke' people who post their racist bile on here.

What else do you want me to say?

I've already pointed out above in the post you didn't fully quote that I still don't think the slide is racist and cited reasons for it. I don't care if you don't agree with that or the OP doesn't agree with that view. All I wanted to make clear was my apology for me being a prick to the OP for thinking he was yet another angry middle aged white man.
If you can't see the problem with this, no amount of explanation will get you over the line.

You are apologising for treating the OP as if he was one race, and now find out he was another one.

There's a word for treating people differently based on their race.

All this bullst just fuels racism.

I have a great method to eradicate racism.

Just treat everyone the fking same, unless they are a , of which there are s in every colour going.

Really isn't that hard.
That’s not the aim. These people fuel hatred to create divisions.

I have thought about it after this post, even though when I said I was white and I didn't find that slide racist that was apparently irrelevant.

Genuinely I thought maybe I've got the definition of racism wrong. I think that's easily done. So I went to the dictionary and looked for the definition of what racism is, as I think that's a fairly sensible place to check.

From the Oxford English dictionary:

"prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized."

So reading that slide, with that definition in my mind, it's still not racist to white people. White people aren't in a minority or a group that's marginalized - in the UK at least. But that slide's on the New Zealand Herald site, so a quick look for figures to see how many white people are in New Zealand returns 72%. Maths isn't a strong point, but that seems like a majority to me. So no, that slide is not racist to me. And I stand by that.

Really the only thing I want to apologise for here is assuming Kessler was white. I am really sorry for that.
I live in the Caribbean and as a white man am very much in the minority. By your inane logic it's racist to me? But not if I lived in the UK. I think you should apologise to everyone else too for wasting their time with this drivel.

Do keep up. Everything is. Except treating people differently based on their skin colour, providing that skin color is white. It's really not difficult.

If you can switch something that is said / written and remove all the "white" and replace it with "black" and it still reads ok then yep not racist. If it reads racist after that then the original is yep racist. I do not buy all this bks that a minority can't be racist so effectively can just say whatever the fk they want no consequences. You can't and shouldn't be able to have your cake and eat it, racist language is racist language.

She’s insane. A full-on mentalist.

I know what each of those words in her bio mean in isolation, but put together, to me they’re just gobbledygook, the ramblings of a nutter.

He appears to have apologised because of the colour of someone's skin. You don't see the problem here? Treating people differently based on their skin colour?

The implication being that his skin colour makes him different. fk that.

Well the people who are pushing 'critical race' theory are almost always socialist or anti-capitalist. Similar to Extinction Rebellion, it's never science and technology that can reverse climate change, but only the removal of capitalism.

Industrialisation, the enlightenment, the renaissance are all regarded as racist because they drove Western European countries (white people) to become the dominant powers of the world.

Do you understand what the word "typically" means? Go and look it up in a dictionary and try to understand how it differs from the word "exclusively", which is how you seem to have read the definition.
Report back when you have done so.
