The Impossibility of Being Racist

Institutionalized racism and sexism are separated from simple prejudice, which some people call just prejudice. However, this means that it's now believed to be impossible to be racist or sexist towards a specific race or sex. This complicates the efforts of those who genuinely want to end racism and sexism. By redefining these terms, people are encouraged to judge and treat others differently based on race and sex. This allows for race-based and sex-based hatred without being labeled as real racism or sexism.
