The desire to live, work, marry and mingle with one's own kind: A nearly-universal desire and virtual law of nature, often expressed as 'Birds of a feather flock together', and denied only by liberals who live and work in areas much too expensive to have any more than a token number of minorities.
Racism is so ingrained and universal that it is reflected not once but twice in our language: The word kind (type) and kind (nice) have the same origin, as does the word like (similar) and like (appreciate), from which we infer that we like those whom we are like, and we are kind to those of our own kind.
Something no one understands the actual meaning of anymore. People, of all races, tend to cry racist anytime any sensitive issue involving race is mentioned nowadays.
Racism is the act of discriminating against a person or group of peoples based solely on their perceived racial identities, such as "The restaurant had a sign that clearly read 'No Mexicans'"
It is NOT when someone says "hey, that only happened because you're white/black/mexican/whatever".
An excuse for people to be offended by every comment somebody could possibly make. The two autobots, Skids and Mudflap, from the second Transformers movie, for example, are not racist charicatures. There DO in fact exist people who really act like that in real life, but saying so would be racist to idiots who want to be politically correct. You can't say the word "black" without being racist. You can't even mention the fact that somebody is black without being racist. In short: It's total bullshit.
Good person: So anyway, I was talking to this black guy yesterday...
Idiot: Why did you have to mention that he's black? Are you a racist? By the way, the correct terminology is 'African-American.'
Good person: First off, I never said I was superior to him, so saying he's black is not racism. Second, he lives in Africa and is not a US citizen, so 'African-American' is not the correct terminology. So fuck you.
