No, no and no.

It's bad enough that definitions of racism are already sloppy and agenda-driven. "I don't like your opinions, so I'm going to work to have your civil rights taken away on spurious medical grounds" is the slipperiest of slippery slopes. The Soviets used to detain dissidents in psychiatric prisons because any opposition to the system was diagnosed as a symptom of mental illness. This kind of bullshit has no place in a democracy.

If it is mental illness, then how can we hold racists accountable for their actions?

My mind is an open book, do you find it entertaining? At least be original in your responses then.

I'm not ready to call racism a mental illness, but this is honestly a really fucking insulting take on mentally ill people. We are autonomous, self-aware beings.

Mental illness seems to make racism worse in some people due to it making them just lash out in the most horrible ways they can imagine, but otherwise it's simply a negative form of tribalism born from ignorance.

It can also be something you're brought up to believe, but it's not always impossible to unlearn a culture that you soaked up as a child.
