That's an odd definition of racism, Skull.
That said, racism is sometimes hard to define. There's also shades of racism, for example the difference between hating someone because of their race and generalising because of race.
Sometimes it's just a fact that certain races behave in certain ways, or at least enough of them do to give a general impression to others.
For example, I've always thought it odd that after some black kid is killed by the police in America, there's riots where people generally smash up the place, rob shops and so on... Seriously! Why?! Can't they see this just harms their own image and makes it more likely that black teenagers are going to get shot by police if the usual impression of them is of low-life criminals and gang members? It's certainly far from the truth.
There's other examples, both good and bad.
It's not only races anyway. I cycle a lot on the roads and have noticed that virtually all BMW drivers are rude, arrogant and by far the most likely to barge me out of the way. It has got to the point where if I hear a car speeding up behind me to overtake while going through a small gap, I think to myself "bet it's a BMW" (or an Audi, same thing
) and I'm right 90% of the time.
Think I digressed somewhere.
In summary, my point is, um, not sure.
There's racism and then there's racism, none of it good but some of it worse. Hardly anyone is without any bias towards certain groups, does this make them racist?
