I think (a) Sebby and many other see racism as necessarily involving some sort of malign intent, as opposed to indifference, (b) as we have discussed, that definition itself reflects indifference which I would characterize as reflecting racism, but (c) someone who believes that bias has had significant systemic and pervasive effects on society can also subscribe to (a) because of how they use language.
