abruptly remembered the dude who spent almost an hour trying to convince me that "racism" as defined as systemic oppression is brand new and had NEVER been in use prior to 2020 when miriam-webster updated their dictionaries to reflect it

but like, doesn't that imply that miriam-webster makes up all the words we have and then defines them? does this guy think that the dictionary controls the evolution of our language rather than chronicling the changes made to the language by humans?

@glitter where do you find these dumb ass white boys? LOL racism is when you hurt my feelings sounding ass white boys. Lol

@Jaded_maple905 @glitter yeah, like, how does one get away with growing up in life being this ignorant?

(The answer is white privilege)
