Well, yes it is, at least from an anarchistic point of view. How would you prevent racism and sexism from not happening? And if we'd live in an anarchy, what difference would it make if someone is racist or sexist?

Racism and sexism are just terms in modern society to describe real or imagined dislike towards certain people. If I dislike someone (or someone dislikes me) because he or she is, or I am, ugly that's supposed to be ok, but if it's based on sex or skin colour, it is not ok for some odd reason, even if the result would be excactly the same. From my point of view, it really doesn't matter why I'm being discriminated.

Wait, are you really trying to argue that racism and sexism are OK? That it's just like disliking an individual?

No. I'm saying discrimination is bad, not the reasons why you are discriminated. I know you think discrimination is ok.

So, how would you prevent racism or sexism from happening in anarchy and what difference would it make?

So what? People are so touchy these days. So a woman calls me a a manpig or whatever...ok, so I call her a bitch and move on with my life.

Whats next, people have to like dogs? Everyone has to like choicolate to not offend the candybar makers?

A dislike of a whole sex is irrational. Women are not some organized collective, they're individual people with individual personalities.

Yes, dislike for the whole sex is irrational. For example the feminists with men-hating hate speech you see everywhere are being irrational, but I think they're entitled to their view. I don't need to like what they think, but they're still entitled to think what they think.
