Wait, do you not know the difference between a racist behavior and a racist person?
Yikes...

When you call something racist that someone just did, you're calling that person racist. This is one of the weakest dodges I've seen.

Sorry but no, that's not true at all. Non-racist people can say and do very racist things. You can shift from acting in racist ways to not second-to-second, it's kind of the whole problem.
The only weak dodge here is your continued insistence I haven't supported my claim when in fact I have well beyond your ability to refute it; so you cling onto this clearly false claim that I haven't as some way of sidestepping your failure to directly address what I've claimed.

> Non-racist people can be very racist.
Shroedinger's racism: the person is simultaneously racist and non-racist at the same time.
You edited your comment after my response, that's what it read before you changed it to "...say and do very racist things."

Not what it says, do you struggle to quote people like this often?
Your links don't actually substantiate the claim that you're making. That's why people keep asking you to substantiate the claims that you're making about lower reward for the same level of academic success, and why your continuous referral back to these links is pointless. And now you're resorting to flagging comments because you can't refute them.
If my comments are so toxic, the correct course of action as per the HN guidelines is to not respond - which you have evidently not done.
> I didn't once call anyone here a racist person.
Yes, you did, here [1]
> What we do see are the systemic effects of an entire society normalizing a whole host of racist behaviors, including trying to play the struggle Olympics by comparing one racial group (who have a whole different set of issues) to another.
You wrote this in response to my comparison of Asian and Black admission rates, in response to your claim that Black people are not rewarded for academic success. In your response explicitly called the comparison of racial groups racist. Sure, you didn't call me racist. You just called what I did in the previous comment racist - as though I can't connect the dots.
