- Are you a racist?
- Of course!
- That's wrong!
- No, that's right.
- So, why is it right to be a racist?
- Because I am white. Being a racist means the same thing as being a white person, by the definition.
- No, the definition is different!
- That's a wrong definition. The right definition is what I told you.
- Look, here is the book which says...
- The right definition is not what is written in your book. It is what corresponds to the actual usage. Racism, as it is actually used, means what I am saying it means.
- But how about black racism?
- You are mistaken. A black person cannot be a racist, by the definition.
- I see. Now, are you also a sexist?
- Sure!
- But why?
- Because I am male. All men are sexists, by the definition. Also, all sexists are men.
- That's wrong!
- No, that's right.
...
- Of course!
- That's wrong!
- No, that's right.
