is what Mark was trying to tell you.

I had written:

Andrew replied:

What in the world does this mean?

I now write:

Mark asked me what was gained by my narrow definition of racism? I
suggest that it allows us to see the differing kinds of ideological
justifications for human group inequality. Religious intolerance, the
curse of Ham, racism, the unilinear model of cultural evolution are
different in important ways.
