47. Do I normally refer to it as such? Not at all. However...
...if someone asked me if it technically fits the definition of racism, I would say, well, of course it does. Look up racism in the dictionary and explain to me how it doesn't apply to affirmative action.

Now, that doesn't mean affirmative action is a bad thing. That doesn't mean it should receive all the venom that normally comes with the "racist" label. It's impossible to argue, however, that affirmative action is not racist. It is.

Similarly, voting for Hillary simply because she's a woman is, in fact, sexist. There's no way around it.
