The problem is that even without malice in one’s words and action, the recognition of race itself is considered racist.

That’s because the concept of biological races has been thouroughly debunked. I will never understand why Anglophones still insist on using the word “race”.

Because nobody is talking about biological races when they say “race” any more? Race as a social construct exists just as much as gender. If you simply pretend that race doesn’t exist, you aren’t being anti-racist, you’re choosing to close your eyes on the racism that’s still happening.

Is it though? Or is that just what racists who don’t think they’re racist like to tell themselves because they believe in pseudoscience with embedded racism?
