Maybe so. I was trying to cast the net as narrowly as possible. But perhaps opposing ethnically-oppressed people's broad demands for justice is racism, regardless of who does it.

And by "racism," I mean the consequential, structural sort. I haven't wrapped my head around Reed yet, but care very little about the inner life of Chomsky or anyone else.
