Playing prescriptionist with definitions isn’t going to absolve Europe of the still ongoing effects that their colonization has caused.

It’s interesting that you spent so much time defending your racism rather than trying to dismiss the allegation.

Europe’s a race, now?
My only response was that you statement that Europe’s history of colonization (which, again, isn’t even true as Europe still has colonies) is still relevant as the effects of that colonization is still present today.
Something you haven’t refuted or even contested; how is acknowledging history racist?

Now we’ve moved on to you saying Racism doesn’t exist which makes it perfectly okay for you to say everyone from a specific continent is a pest/plague.

That would be xenophobia; not racism.
I also never said that Europeans were a pest or plague; as I said in the previous comment, “My only response was that you statement that Europe’s history of colonization is still relevant.” You never alleged that I was saying that Europeans were a pest or plague (probably because I never said that) so I was never attempting to refute such a claim.
