"Racism" is now too loaded a term.
"Groupism" is closer to the core of the faulty human judgment.
It captures the same stupidity that assigns inappropriate attributes to a race, gender, political party or job.
"Bigotry" is a perfectly good word.
@mcfate
Then why don't we hear that word used more often?
The Whoopie Goldberg incident initiated this thought. At first I had to understand it Jews were, in face, a Race. That didn't take long, but I did have questions at first.
Then I realized that the term "Race" was irrelevant to the topic. It was Bigotry or Groupism. "Race" was just an attribute of Bigotry in order to create "Racism". That mindset allows many other non-race, unjust actions to be justified.
There's no difference at all. "I'm the only one that matters" and "Nobody else matters" are just two different ways of saying the same thing.
@damselfly59 @mcfate
What if the bigotry is reversed and it's all about me and my tribe?
Only-Me-ism?
Same mindset.
Jingoist have this mindset, and we're seeing a lot of it in the US.
