That's definitely NOT the definition by many people's standards anymore
Sock Gnome

Well that is the actual definition according to the dictionary

Humans are better than elves. So I guess I'm racist.

"No. Nevers" either lack self-awareness or are lying.

Prejudice and racism are two different things, IMO.

I don't think many understand the definition of prejudice
kimdaddy35
7/5/19 2:44pm
I strongly disagree
kimdaddy35
7/5/19 2:39pm
I believe you do.
Sea Chicken

I'm sorry that you think everyone thinks as you do. Honestly the hubris behind

I believe that everyone thinks that way from time to time

Funny you still don't get it. How many minds have you been in? How could

I don't think you get it.
Sea Chicken

How do you know how every other person on the earth thinks? I certainly don't

you aren't helping your case

See that is the difference. I have seen through 40+ years that people don't all

I have seen through 50+ years that there are some universal truths

You're not helping your case

clever

But that doesn't really mean that you are or aren't racist.

If any decision or assumption is made based on race, then you are racist.

I agree with most of that. But including physical attractiveness is absurd.
bluecougar1985
7/5/19 2:57pm
Or maybe not everything that he has included in what is a pretty reasonable definition of racist is intentional, overt,
mvtoro
7/5/19 3:00pm
So you believe that the dictionary definition of racist is not correct and that
kimdaddy35
7/5/19 3:09pm
No. I just have a different understanding of what language is than you seem to.
mvtoro
7/5/19 4:55pm
Man, it would be hard to have any sort of a conversation with you because I
kimdaddy35
7/5/19 5:08pm
Nope, only the words that aren’t clear and need specific meaning in the conversation.
mvtoro
7/5/19 5:22pm
And the country is what it is, not because people HAVE disagreements about things like racism and what it is, but

You may be right, but I sometimes fear that something as basic as attractiveness

I've known some people who were pretty attractive...
Eddie

I find that there are very attractive women in most races from my perspective.
bluecougar1985

So - if I think brunettes are super hot I'm a racist?
Eddie
7/5/19 3:02pm
Well, Eddie, I don’t think being brunette is classified as a race.
SouthernCoug

By your very broad definition of racism do you think that a larger percentage of black people in America are openly
mvtoro

Nope. I hate everyone regardless of race.

That's my line.

Agreed. I’m an equal opportunity hater.

Yes, I don't like Democrats. I know they are not a race but the description could slide over to fit.

Read Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. Research suggests EVERYONE is a little racists.
