Dictionary.com and Merriam-Webster both agree with this definition. Lots of words have multiple meanings.

Racism is usually defined as views, practices and actions reflecting the belief that humanity is divided into distinct biological groups called races...

- Wikipedia

Granted most people believe that racism is any act of hostility toward a race because of their race. I use 'prejudice' instead. I understand words have multiple meanings, and it's something I don't like about the English language.

Prejudice: an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics

- Merriam Webster

I would sooner use the word 'prejudice' to describe racial discrimination than racism. That's all I'm saying.

Are you blind?

But I also said, private organizations like NAACP or this theoretical one for the advancement of whites, have every right to spend the money they raise how they wish and I respect that right. So really, I don't care if this organization were made, there would be nothing wrong with it.

I just told you there can be a group like that. I also said I don't have a problem with the creation of such a group.

Personally, I don't see a reason for a group that supports white people only. Sure not all whites are at the top, why should they be? Social and economic status isn't dependent on race (for the most part). NAACP wasn't founded to get all blacks into power. It was made to support struggling families as they faced racial turmoil and prejudice.

But, if people want one to exist, then so be it. Just don't expect me to donate my money to it.

What is wrong with acknowledging multiple, unique races among humans? Take the Negroid race for example - there are certain skeletal factors that make a person Negroid. Traits such as, a flatter nose, narrower ears, narrower joints, and a more prominent frontal skull (forehead).

-When compared to the Caucasian race.

They use these same traits to label individuals in forensic science. Why? Because it's accurate and factual.

It's not like any of these factors make that race worse (or better). I'm not saying elitism (the belief one group [race] is superior to another because of assumed characteristics) is okay. I'm saying racism (the acknowledgement of different races) is okay.


I don't see how it could offend someone to believe in races, when all of us come from one of these three races or a mix of them.

Is feminism racist?

Obviously not. Females are not a race, they are a gender.

Do feminist discriminate against men? Well.. that's a tough question. By definition, feminists only pursue the opportunity of equal political, social, and economic status of men. There's nothing wrong with that.

However, some feminists believe they deserve these things because they're a woman. That, is not right. In fact, that's exactly what feminist are against (or supposed to be).

A real feminist does not believe they are better than man, only equal to him. A female deserves no more rights than a man, and no less.

Hahahah did you invent a time machine and pop out from the 1800s? Race is not an agreed scientific classification. Perhaps you meant native peoples?

I wish I had a time machine.

But yes, I also said that everyone today is either a native or a mix from these races. Obviously these races are pretty blended in today but these features still exist.

Black people typically have darker skin. The idea that we should pretend there are no differences between groups and individuals is ridiculous.

Diversity is not an imagined concept.

That's why I explained it to you.

There exists white families that face the same racial turmoil and prejudice, so the existence of a similar organisation is similarly justified.
It's not pretending everyone is the same it's simply ignoring a trivial commonly known fact, instead of using it as a way to claim superiority.

Of course that is bad, but differences do exist.

It's like in class at school, some people need more help than others - and they should get more attention from the teacher. People have different needs and so we should give different things.

An example of when racial sensitivity is done badly is when there is a campaign to help underprivileged black people. They should be aiming to help underprivileged people in general, it doesn't make any sense. People that need help should be helped, regardless of race.
Well that's a racist thought in itself isn't it? racism exists only when you want it to I'm some cases, obviously there are more than just black people that receive aid however that's just the one you chose to single out.

What? How is that racist?

You can pretend that all races are the same if you want, but even a child can tell the difference between white and black. Acknowledging that people come in all shapes and sizes, all colours and creeds is a very realistic attitude.
Perhaps I should rephrase, it's obvious so why point it out is my point. It's already clear and it wouldn't be such a big deal unless comparisons are made.

For example in the past when I revealed my race to some members in the community, all of a sudden it was impressive that I could spell and didn't constantly spout slang.
