Thats good. But you don't know what he has read or not or what research he may have done, or not.


>I'd still like to know how you define racism though. If context doesn't matter, and only the words do, then again I ask, how do you recognise racism?

I didn't say context doesn't matter. You need to stop adding stuff to peoples conversations. Racism is normally associated with the idea that one race is inferior or superior to other races based on race alone.

Saying that the world media is owned by Jews would be a compliment to Jewish business acumen and certainly not that they are inferior. Then saying that because of this the media is favourably biased towards Jews would simply be a natural and even expected conclusion of the claimed condition in the first place. This claim is not so difficult to debate or argue without any need to accuse the claimant of racism.

All media is owned by someone and that media is biased to at least some degree in favour of those owners political, religious, or whatever beliefs. So what? If I say I dont read or believe newpaper X because it leans republican or democrat or whatever so what? It might be the truth. Or it may be wrong in which case perhaps someone explain why I am mistaken. But the claim that paper X or all papers or all media is this or that way inclined is not racism. It's an opinion which may or may not reflect reality.
