“RACIST ISN’T A DESCRIPTIVE
WORD. IT’S A PEJORATIVE WORD. IT IS THE EQUIVALENT OF SAYING, ‘I DON’T LIKE YOU.’ ‘RACIST’ IS JUST A SLUR WORD. I THINK RACE IS REAL, AND I THINK RACE IS IMPORTANT. AND THOSE TWO PRINCIPLES DO NOT MEAN I WANT TO HARM SOMEONE OR HATE SOMEONE. BUT THE NOTION THAT THESE PEOPLE CAN BE EQUAL IS NOT A SCIENTIFIC WAY OF LOOKING AT IT.”
