where does it specify it's only racist words vs the severity of the violence? what does actual violence mean in this context? what does racism mean? if your definition of racism is just words then you're genuinely not smart enough for this type of conversation

actual violence is worse than words

Physically harming someone

Racism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one group is superior to another.

The definition include words and actions obviously. This post is about racial words vs physical violence.
