Such a thing would be racist if the subject wasn’t white.
Apparently, systemic oppression makes that logical. Which I pretty much get when it comes to matters oppressive, but I’m fairly sure there’s a point where it just gets silly to maintain that racism can’t go both ways… Perhaps we need a word for non-systemic prejudice of this sort?
How about culturalism? (/adds to keyboard dictionary)
Seems to me, this is much more of a grey area, where there’s room for debate (as long as you don’t believe in cultural equivalence). Then you’re free to criticise a group on the basis of their values, beliefs, practices or whatever… Which would quite possibly allow for a large number of people to reconsider their rejection of political correctness and make it less simplistic and doctrinaire.
I guess this could be a whole thread on its own, if there’s enough interest; might require splitting off.
