Racism - prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
This is the point that your missing I believe. Clay Travis is not saying his race is superior....so by the definition of the word I don't think your argument is 100% solid.
Clay is asking him to prove his race. Clay is not stating the fact that one race is better than another.

See my next post.....you're not taking into account the true definition.

I know you can't see the forest through the trees here.
He essentially built a career on fraud and exploitation of a false race claim. It literally has nothing to do with racism. This is is no different than Elizabeth Holmes defrauding investors over her fraudulent miracle blood test scheme.

Ah, yes, the response of the troll and/or intellectually lazy. Carry on, sweetheart.

Not the full definition. Definition 3 according to Webster:
quote:A "$50,000 if you're black enough" deal is exactly this.
: racial prejudice or discrimination

So a racist is offering give 50K to a black charity? I bet those charities wish there were more racist out there.

I don't know why you think I give a shite about King's life story. You got triggered by the R word, and you're still shaking.

Unless it is a minority scholarship. Then it's cool.

You're not triggered because I'm a troll. You're triggered because you're insecure about something. Not my problem.

You said it is racist. I'm saying anyone offering to give 50k to a black charity and is racist only means there should be racist people around. World would be a better place with racist people is what you are saying. We all get that. You don't have to keep spelling it out.

Definition of racism
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 a : a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles b : a political or social system founded on racism
3 : racial prejudice or discrimination
Pretty sure all of these hinge on the fact that the person being prejudice or discriminating believes their race to be better than the other.
I don't see how what Travis is doing as discrimination......
But when I read the exact definition of prejudice he could be seen as doing that....but its not racial in this case.....he is being prejudice against Shaun King....not the black race.

Im not fighting you on racism....Im disagreeing with your argument in this single situation.
The bolded part above states that you agree....racism is discrimination of one race over the other.....Travis is not arguing that any race is better than another race....
He is arguing the King isnt who he says he is.
Edit: Also, I believe you actually agreed with me when you said discriminating one over another....
