Surely one of the definitions of "racist" should contain something about thinking that some races are better than others. Or is that covered under "neo-Nazi"?
Depends on what you mean by "better". There's a difference between taking the data on race and IQ seriously, and wanting to commit genocide.
(blink)
Can you unpack the relationship here between some available meaning of "better" and wanting to commit genocide?
That's the question I was implicitly asking Oscar.
Most obvious plausible available meaning for 'better' that fits: "Most satisfies my average utilitarian values".
(Yes, most brands of simple utilitarianism reduce to psychopathy - but since people still advocate them we can consider the meaning at least 'available'.)
Fair enough.
Sure, I just thought it was weird that the definitions given barely even mentioned race.
