Racism and all the bad -isms

Hope you don’t mind if I bring your quote over to this thread @mascot, but the UK politics thread is permanently off-topic and this one seems more appropriate.

But I wanted to respond by saying that I would actually prefer the term ‘racism’ to drop out of existence entirely and ethnic discrimination (ethnicism) given its equivalent weighting in society. ‘Race’ really doesn’t serve any purpose these days.

Ethnicity isn’t without its problems of course. But you can at least apply some level of science to it and it won’t fall apart like race does.
