It totally is; to see someone actively downplaying microaggressions in the thread that’s dedicated to dissecting racist microaggressions is sadly ironic.

TBH it did cross my mind to assert that while I love Alanis, I did use the word correctly.

No shit!?! I saw Alanis Morisette in Munich in 1995. That means Taylor was the drummer. And here I thought I had never seen him perform! TIL!

If you hadn’t we just know somebody would pointed it out sooner or later.

I guess I would point to Nick Fuentes being a white supremicist as an example of how racism can be more nuanced.

Maybe just a mistake and not inherently racist after all?

He seemed surprised that he forgot, so I don’t know, maybe ask him not me? My current assumption is he forgot, because we’re not all spherical nerds in a vacuum.
Look, I get hat this thread is about, but there’s enough actual racism out there that we don’t need to make it up as well.
Strange. I think this applies to your side of the conversation, too.
Are you still, seriously, trying to explain to a Black woman what is and is not racism? I think this has run it’s race and is now done.

Unconscious racism is still racism.
There are at least five kinds of racism:
-open racist: Nazis, white supremacists, etc
-casual racism: your racist uncle who likes to Just Ask Questions at Thanksgiving dinner
-structural racism: somehow, magically, Black men are incarcerated at more than 5 times the rate of White men
-unconscious racism: White guy manages to forget the prominent Black character in a beloved scifi TV series. Oops!
-self-hating racism: see Candace Owens, Ye, etc.
None of the above are not racism.
