@ijbailey @AuntoV "Racism" is selectively applied. Some say affirmative action is racism. Others use it to describe slavery or housing discrimination. Still others think miscroaggressions are racism, or that Barack Obama was racist. Should we abandon the term because it is contested? — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @AuntoV On the contrary, in both cases, the terms are used by different people in wildly different ways and there is no agreed upon definition, though there are specific examples--racial slurs and Justine Sacco, say--that most people agree qualifies — PolitiTweet.org
