If you can “dumb down” the definition of racism, I would say this is true. This is why I don’t allow white people to lecture me on race.
I’ve the same attitude towards any race hustler (essentially defined well over a century ago by Booker T Washington as those who make a living off of it).
In fact I’ve reached a point that I consider it a tragedy of sorts that — because so few can actually make a living from keeping people unhappier and less content than they would otherwise be — there is no upside, financial or otherwise, for the majority who follow.
