[Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation

I posted a comment on Reddit telling about how the word racism really means a person who is a subscriber to the pseudoscience that is race.

Tons of people downvoted me then reddit admins removed the content for harassment, of all things. (None of it made sense to me)

I'm sad that people still think that people are different races, and to not be racist you just have to not put one over or under another, when the crux of the problem is fundamentally that people don't get that race was made up because long ago dumb people thought that people that looked different were a literal different species but couldn't prove it so made up the word race as a subcategory in the taxonomic system, but finally scientists realized it's complete bullshit since it's impossible to define, total bullshit, wildly inconsistent, and massively harmful... and I'm sad that people there literally couldn't comprehend that, and got so mad or offended that they censured the information and thought I was arguing against the existence of systemic racism or something that only a dumb piece of shit would misinterpret.

I linked the Wikipedia page for racism which explains all of it, including history and stuff.

I was triggered for like a week trying to figure out what I said wrong, and honestly still kinda bothered.

But, that is what race is: a bigoted idea that different people are different races and shouldn't/can't interbreed. And that's the stupidest bullshit that MOST people don't understand, and I'll die on this hill, explaining that we gotta stop all being racists. Yeah, fix the problems like systemic racism, but stop thinking of people with darker or lighter skin as different - they're just warm weather humans or cold weather humans, the same way buff or skinny humans are. Fuck. We're all literally just humans, an amazing species, capable of adaptation and survival.
