Oh is that the standard? Good to know. Here I thoughtt it was whether it was something that made people think.

Where should I start with this? The idea that "the average person" can't identify racism by whatever your definition of what racism is? The notion that I'm making light of racism by ridiculing the notioin that PB&Js are racist? The "no true scotsman" fallacy you stuck in at the end?

Tell me, if everybody stops eating PB&Js tomorrow, how does that improve the life of a single black person? How does it address police brutality? Or the legacy of Jim Crow? How does it address prison inequity? Or a lack of generational wealth? Or unfair hiring practices? If you think we should be wasting one second talking about whether enough robots are painted black whilst these issues are still affecting our communities, you have lost your mind.

One point we agree on is that racism is extremely adaptable. My point is that it's adapting into "anti-racism"
