Some will conflict terrorist Muslims with all Muslims when you complain about Islamic terrorism. The irony is islamaphobes do the same and attack all Muslims and non-extreme Muslims are the biggest target of terrorist Muslims.

Racism is generally understood to include discrimination based on cultural, national, and religious identities, precisely because of how commonly conflated these identities are with race.

Also note conflate, not conflict.

But that is not even close to what racism means.

Racism:"prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior."

No, it really is. Sorry.

Look, words can change their meanings very subtly every time you use them - and this is common for words that have become political pejoratives e.g. what the hell is a socialist anyway?

But regardless, you have to make your peace with the fact that there is a use of the word that is generally understood by most people across society - and it can get very specific. So yes, you can be racist to Muslims. Most dictionary definitions adapt to this accordingly.

So it is generically understaff that way because you say so? Citation needed.

I'll have to refer you to literally anyone who's ever experienced systemic ethnoreligious discrimination and just leave you to spot the common factor. I don't think I have all evening for this conversation.

I notice that you not only failed to provide any evidence beyond "cause I say so", you also moved the goalpost to ethnicity along aside religion and thus you basically conceded your own point by doing so and insulted me to boot as cover.

Did you expect anything different? I'm just shocked he didn't say Racism = Privilege plus power.

Often when I see that I think, you mean you think no blacks can have power ever!

Exactly, and I think that cultural Marxist tactic came out while Obama was president, Oprah, Jay-Z and Dr. dre were billionaires.
Another case of the soft bigotry of low expectations.

isnt the argument that it's islamophobic to label all muslims as terrorists trying to tear down western civilization
1 up, 5y
No, that is not the argument, but that line of thought is islamophobic and I also see it too much.
