maybe we should leave judgement regarding what is and isn't racist to people who are and have been on the receiving end of actual racism.
And what if they don’t agree/have a range of views, who are you going to defer to then?

What is this question?
Surely you’re not asking: ‘what if the people who have experienced racism don’t agree/have a range of views on whether they find something racist?’
Isn’t that exactly what we should do more of? I’m a 33 year old white male and I’ve never experienced racism, I can empathise, look at the history of society and form an opinion of what I believe to be racist, but simply by the very nature of what I am, I can only know less than someone who has actually experienced racism.
