>>526234this is a classic wittgenstein language game issue. in popular colloquial language, people use "racism" to refer to
interpersonal prejudice. But in Academic/Marxists circles, people use "racism" to refer to systems of discrimination that are downstream from economics and arise out of the mode of production. Thus there is confusion when one party wishes to speak informally about interpersonal prejudice using "racism" and another party wishes to speak academically about systemic injustice using "racism."
One solution might be for all parties to be more clear on definitions, but in fast moving conversation this emphasis on definitions can be seen as pedantic, annoying, or even slow-witted. We are capable of making more distinctions and being more nuanced, but it is difficult to expand our vocabulary to match what is inside our heads without coining neologisms all the time. Language is social and cultural so even if we were to make up new words to encapsulate the distinctions we are trying to make, they wouldn't catch on without mass adoption.
