re: Racism today...

quote:

---

no, the meaning of racism is - I don't like you / won't hire you / won't let you live or go to school where I do; because you are different

too many people use the meaning of prejudiced to define what racism is

what you are railing against is stereotyping

it really helps if you understand the meaning of words...

it really helps if you know the meaning of words before you try to appear profound and knowledgeable but thanks for trying.

"the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races." wikipedia

You see that part about the belief that ALL MEMBERS of each race - thats the stereotyping part. Stereotyping based on race is racism.

if you don't have anything intelligent to add and just want to retort again please feel free.
