    He is saying that I live in an advantaged position because of my skin color. Am saying that my skin color is not sufficient enough to describe me, nor would anyone else's skin color be.

Right. Both of those things are true.

It's literally a question of definition. You're saying that racism should be defined as racial prejudice-- fine. All I'm saying is, don't interpret Yancy's article as though he's talking about what you mean when you say racism.
