Is being a racist always wrong?
So is that definition btw.
At least insofar as it's incomplete.
Racism entails belief in intrinsic superiority (and intrinsic inferiority) of particular races. It also implies derisive behavior towards members of another race on the basis of that belief.

So NC, have you ever wished you were a different race? And I don't mean in passing, but a true longing to be a different race?

I purposely left the inflammatory part of the definition out because I believe one can subscribe to the top part without being the second.
Anyone who has truly never longed to be another race is, at least on a subconscious level, saying that his race is superior.

What do you think that adds to the discussion? If there are differences between groups, races, ethnicities, cultures, how are these differences not natural? And wouldn't natural become as loaded as homosexuality being natural?

No it doesn't,

That's pretty much my view.
