what is racism

by **Jedi 999** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 10:33 am

according to wikipedia

Racism is the belief that race is a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.[1] Or, on the opposite side, racism can be described as the belief that a certain race or races portray undesirable characteristics. In the case of institutional racism, certain racial groups may be denied rights or benefits, or receive preferential treatment.

well so i argue hating a country because they treated your people like shit is not racist but anti-racist and people who glorify these racists are racists / closet racists . Hating people who have deystroyed your country is not racist but loving those people who treated other races like shit is racist

OK, but hating and wishing ill on a whole set of people because a part of that set did something bad in the past makes no sense.

Kk. I'll play your noob games.

Half of wikipedia's definitions are wrong... and the definition for people who can spell:

Racism is verbal, mental, or physical attacks against someone from the opposite beliefs. I would look it up in a dictionary... but nah.

I kind of like what Chef had to say on it:

I'm not sure about that sort of 'second generation racist' stuff you got going on there, where liking racists makes you racist. I mean, obviously it shows a tolerance for racism, but I'm not sure that tolerating racism is inherently racist.

Ascribing certain traits to an entire people in a stereotypical fashion is textbook racism. Such as, for example, saying that all British are evil colonizers.

Here's an simpler and better definition: Determining any of your opinions based on race is racist.

Even when it's reactionary, it's still racist.

OK, you're an anglophobe. Also, just because I'm curious, how can you justify your hatred of British people? Gandhi (the man you said was an inspiration to you) said "an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind" so even he didn't support your hatred. Communism (which from other posts it seems you agree with) states that all people should be equal, yet you've made it quite clear you are not willing to see British people as human beings.

So tell me, how can you continue to say such ignorant things when you claim Gandhi as an inspiration? I'm pretty certain you and he would not have gotten along...

by **Jedi 999** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 10:43 am

a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2.
a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3.
hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

While I would never argue that a "race" is inferior to another, I am willing to say that some cultures are inferior to others. Some would argue that this also makes me a racist.

I see them as human being but the problem during the british rule they did not think of indians as equal human being

So, if I said "All black people are better at sports than white people," is that not racist?
