that race and sex don’t correlate with anything significant

If you define “racism” and “sexism” that broadly, sure, but there are plenty of people who use the terms more narrowly, and wouldn’t call David Epstein racist for pointing out that the Kalenjin comprise a sizeable fraction of marathon champions for genetic reasons.

  David Epstein racist for pointing out that the Kalenjin comprise a sizeable fraction of marathon champions for genetic reasons.
  
  What about calling people like Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray racists for pointing out the correlation between race and IQ?
  
  Also mbitton24′s claim was that said memes were “almost impossible to misuse”, and some people do in fact define the terms very broadly.
  
  By the way what do you think are reasonable definitions of the terms?
