Seb does not want to do harm to people of color so he say he is not racist.
I posted a anecdote when my son was living in a neighborhood where I did not belong, a very poor part of Detroit. I was dropping him off and parked in front of the only open business in the area; a liquor store. There was a 60 yo black man in front staring at me. I did not belong there. My car did not belong there. I realized I had an unbalanced fear or a 60 yo rummy who would not harm me, beyond maybe asking for a dollar. I realized I would not have the fear for a white rummy.
Seb said that didn’t make me racist, meaning I was a good person, and not hateful. He is right. But given your definition (and mine) it shows I’m racist.
The two of you have differences, but if you don’t get this disconnect you just throw feces at each other.
Edit: I left a “not” out at first.

Yes, we have had extensive discussion about why Sebby's definition of racist doesn't work, and yet every time the discussion of racial bias comes up, he retreats right back to it.
