Notes
I am not claiming that this decision on how to use the term “racism” applies to all anti-racist linguistic communities. I am only asserting that within the practice of diagnosing and solving race-based social problems, many anti-racists have embraced this particular meaning of the term.
I take it that Urquidez would agree with this formulation of the pragmatic end of anti-racism.
