Life's a Party

I personally make a differentiation between "people who occasionally inadvertently do racist things" and "people who are racist." When I use the phrase "people who are racist" I mean people for whom racism is a major aspect of their identity. For me, a person must go above and beyond for me to actually *define* that person as "a racist" -- thus my choice of wording.

And as I stated in my previous comment, I've already included amazonziti's clarification of that point as an addendum to my post. I don't think further editing of my post is necessary. People are welcome to read my and participate in my comment thread if they feel the need for further discussion of semantics.
