    May I be a dick?

LOL you're mind-numbingly out-of-touch with normal communicative behavior. No surprise there, considering some of the things I've seen you say, but it's still fascinating watching you try.

    Racism anywhere is not complicated. Racial relationships are.

Fuck outta here with that shit. The term "racism" also encompasses the idea of "race relations" among many others, and all of it's complicated as fuck. So what?

You win no edgy, "dick"-ish points for trying to draw a semantic difference between racism and race relations based on which one's more "complicated". Like wut? The distinction is meaninglessly myopic at this level of conversation - a conversation you pursued in bad faith, so it's no wonder taco isn't into it.

We've been down similar paths before with your pointless quibbling over semantics. Your behavior in confrontation is familiar to everyone on this site, and I don't expect this time to go any better.
