Deciding that because someone is of that group, they're guaranteed to be as bad as the worst of it. Believing in "inferior monkeys.". Believing someone from that group can't exist outside of a government program. Believing that those who try need to metaphorically have their legs broken, so they get back in line.
Believing you have the right to act like you're psychic, and know what they mean by what they say better than they do, because their skin color is your proof. Believing that if you feel a certain way, they unqualified to disagree with you on literally any basis. To the point that colleges can spend taxpayer money to reinstate Apartheid, just so you can harass them for any reason, and blame them for the crimes of their every ancestor. To act like you know the individual's family's history and true motives better than the actual genealogical records do. To act entitled to deny them things they already paid for, because their having it with that skin is offensive to you. To not allow them their own voice, or any corollary to your talking points, because they are from the group that can never be right. That their being that color means they automatically disagree with you on sexual mores 100%, even if they deny it, and that their having different views on sexuality that are more Biblical than yours (presumably) furthermore somehow makes them subhuman, and okay to abuse.
That's the raging face of modern racism. It makes classic racism look tame. The old school had cruelty, ignorance, and hypocrisy as unintended consequences. The new one considers these ends the entire goal.

"I thought a racist is someone who hates and oppresses someone of a different race or ethnicity." Miriam Webster does not agree with you. I would agree believing some features commonly found among some races as being more or less attractive is not racist. That being said, I *do* believe that believing that people should date within their race is indeed racist. Especially when one has only laughable answers as to why he believes this.
Racism is universal. Everyone does it. Only idiots so stupid they're very fortunate they have the brain capacity to breathe on their own think otherwise.
Mao Zedong murdered millions of minority groups in China. He's lauded as a demi-god by many in China. They don't care what he did.
Muslims would love to wipe the Yazidi people off the face of the earth. Their culture, bloodline and religious beliefs. How is that not racism?
The Ainu of Japan have faced discrimination, etc. for years if not decades. There was a politician a few years ago whose anti-Ainu mentality would make Hitler proud.
Muslims purposefully set out rape Hindu & Sikh women in Asiatic countries. Since a number belong to minority groups that's more than just culturist or against religion.
Minority groups are treated like shit in many other countries. Like shit. Less value than dogs or cattle to the majority society. How is that not racism?
Intentional/unintentional bias, prejudice and discrimination directed at someone based on physical or cultural factors they cannot control.

Someone who truly harbors resentment or hatred in their heart for another person based on their race without knowing a damn thing about them or engaging in civilized conversation. Frankly racism is one of the most revolting things humanity has ever concocted. I believe our life's purpose is to see the person for who they are inside and completely disregard their exterior in relation to how we judge them. So basically if you're a racist you're a failure at life and need to fix yourself before you meet up with The Big Man Upstairs.
Yeah, I agree with YOUR definition. Someone who believes people who are a different race than them, should have less rights. To be honest, I don't even think White Supremacy is a racist concept. The term has obviously been hijacked by racist movements, but to me the word "supremacy", simply means that something is better or more advanced than something else. It doesn't mean that other groups of people should have less rights.
Like it's a simple fact, that White countries have better technology and less crime than Black and Hispanic countries.As long is your not stopping someone financial growth, educational growth or physically harming somebody then I really don't care if you don't like me.
People need to get over that fact.
I had a homeless white man call me a n**. You think I give a fuck. I make me close to 90k a year with no debt. Doing what I want to do
And I think he did cause I was walking Asian/white girl to her car. Or he was crazy.Any assumption or discrimination or withholding of rights or things permitted to another group solely because of race is racist
I. E.
Saying someone can’t come to your restaurant because of their race
Saying someone can’t marry who they want because of their race
Saying someone can’t have that job or isn’t smart enough because of their race
All of that falls within that category in my opinion.It doesn't get much more racist than replacing the national anthem with the black national anthem.
I label someone as racist when they put down another race, shows prejudice to them, disrespects them, etc. and try to elevate themselves in the process as well.
A racist is someone that is all about the suppression of people of a minority race by either physical or emotional attacks. If someone has a racist frame of mind, they usually will show that racism in some way or another.
The single most racist person is the one that says they're not racist but still can't stand the sight of a black and white mixed couple.Racism is complicated to define in simple words.
Racism for me is an identitarian coping mechanism that manifests itself as racial animus.
Racial animus is the drive to define human properties to immutable inheritable characteristics that are unrelated to said properties, specially negative properties one wants to define a-priory as unrelated to oneself or as endemic to oneself.Someone who let's race be the primary determinant of everything there is to know about someone. Especially you use such logic to determine if someone is superior to or as a threat to someone else or even another race.
Why would you ask this? You ask this question you answered your own question
If you judge someone negatively/harshly based on nothing other than the colour of their skin, that's racist in my opinion.
Talking bad about a different race, making fun, excluding, shaming & bullying
It no longer matters what you say or do. The left has inflamed tensions to the point where anyone can accuse you of racism. I always thought that you were a racist anyways
Thinking one’s own race is superior to other races. I think one can have racial biases and hold certain viewpoints towards another race as whole without necessarily being racist.
Anyone Conservative is called racist. Media says all Republicans are racist.
racism is one who pays too much attention to race. that's not a hard thing to observe
They want a whole race gone
