what is racism

[Jedi 999]

Hating people who have deystroyed your country is not 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.

well it does to me but the fact remains it cant be called racist

If I said "All Indians are cheap and can't drive," would that be racist?

yes because you are thinking of indians as inferior

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

well yes cause that attributes inferior qualities to white people

well yes cause that attributes inferior qualities to white people

So it is not racist to assume a black person is good at sports just because he is black?

Or they could just be better...

Racism is the idea that humanity can meaningfully be subdivided into a handful of races.
Racism is silly

[Chumblywumbly]

Hating people who have deystroyed your country is not 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.

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.

well they did colonize thats a historical fact

No-one's denying that. What I'm questioning is why you'd dislike all British people, past and present, for the action of just some.

I can understand a dislike of the individuals, institutions and policies responsible for colonisation; I can't understand saying things like "i want whats [sic] bad for britain". Why would you dislike or wish harm on me or the millions of other Brits who had no part in, and do not support, the colonisation of India?

It says that white people are inferior to black people by saying that black people are better.

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.

According to Dictionary.com

rac·ism   /ˈreɪsɪzəm/
–noun
1. 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.

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 a country is not racist. true.

Hating people who have deystroyed your country is not racist but loving those people who treated other races like shit is racist

now hating the people who have nothing to do with said destruction except they are from the country you hate... that falls into Definition 3 and can fall into Definition 1.

(I think I corrected most of the grammar mistakes)

A good position to take there. But what constitutes a racist country? I could point to the evils that occured during World War 2 in Germany as an example as racism. But can we really say that Germans today are still racist? When would you say a country should stop clinging to its racist past, and embrace a better future?

I know English isn't your first language, so perhaps we an chalk your statements up to that, but thus far on this forum you've indicated far more than simple dislike of those British who colonised or support(ed) colonisation.

You've been suggesting that all British people are worthy of contempt, and appear to be wishing harm on us merely for being from Britain.

hating people who "have destroyed your country" is not racist. hating people who DIDNT "destroy your country" but are associated with those who did in your mind because they are of the same "race" IS racist.

accepting the notion that you can identify who "destroyed your country" and that it is indeed destroyed.

But hating a specific group of people, no matter the cause, is still racism.

So yes sir, I am calling you a racist, and I am not wrong.
