>>>I've already had the argument of the definition of racist - look it up in the dictionary - that is how one determines how a word is defined.

>Yes, sir. So you mean precisely "showing or feeling discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or believing that a particular race is superior to another."

>In that case, can you please look up "race" in the dictionary, since that's key to your definition. Hopefully you'll agree there's a plethora of meanings, some of which might make most prejudice racist.

>I know I'm being pedantic, but IMHO there's a real risk that these terms are hurled so liberally that it comes to mean simply that somebody with a different shade of skin was affected, no matter the context.

>>> that might be homophobia...but that's a rather ridiculous scenario because it seems unlikely that a Chinese restaurant would be in the business of selling wedding cakes.

>Another scenario: the same couple goes into the Muslim bakery next door and asks the hijabed shop attendant for a rainbow cake for their gay nuptials. What happens next?

Aother scenario: I'm not getting into stupid hypothetical arguments with you just so you can be a jackass who defends hatred an racism then claims you're not based on irrelevant obscure linguistics just to start sh_it for no reason other than to be a jerk.
