Aks: I feel like people are using the word rasist liberally, and it's undercutting its power and importance. What i think is important, that i think can help, is if we develop a shared and consistent definition of the term races. So what we currently have is so many different definitions, many of which don't aline. And that's why even had to be an anti racis,. i wanted to anchor every chapter on definitions because i just think us having definitions would allow us to only use the term when it's applicable.
