I'm not the poster you are referring to but you raise an interesting point.
The definition of Racism has been extended and extended and extended. It has been so extended, so wide a net that now almost everyone-apart from those clothed in celestial garments and whose shit doesn't stink-has finds themselves entangled on it.
We even have posters on here wondering if it is racist to call a Chinese takeaway, a Chinese and the answer to that, according to many who responded, was that it was indeed racist to do this.
So, to many people-maybe not on these boards-the word 'Racism; has now lost its power. It becomes something to laugh at in a derisory way.
There are two aspects to this-one positive and one negative.
The Negative: When a real racist incident occurs-like someone being denied a job or assaulted becuse of the colour of their skin-people tend to just shrug their shoulders. They are no longer upset or shocked by it.
The Positive: People are no longer held hostage by the ever widening definition of racism. They know that much of it is nonsense and are no longer scared of being called racist if they put cornrows in the hair of their daughter.
So yes, we are progressing.
There will be a sweet spot but there has to be a correction of the ever widening net of the definition of racism. It went too far-until almost everyone felt themselves to be guilty of racism even if it was simply not acknowledging their so called White Privilege or not believing in positive discrimination rather than simple equality.
It became like the French Revolution where, even-in the end-even the most ardent revolutionaries were executed.
So yes, progress is being made.
