Racism is commonly defined as a belief or doctrine where inherent biological differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, with a corollary that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
The term racism can also mean one is proud of one's race without discriminating others (ethnocentrism), fear of foreigners (xenophobia), views or preferences against interbreeding of the races (miscegenation), and nationalism, and/or a generalization of a specific group of people (stereotype); regardless of any explicit belief in superiority or inferiority embedded within such views or preferences. Racism has been used in attempts to justify social discrimination, racial segregation and violence, including genocide. Politicians are known to practice race-baiting in an effort to win constituents.
The term racist, when used to describe someone who supports racism, has been a pejorative term since at least the 1940s, and the identification of a group or person as racist is nearly always controversial.

there's nothing wrong with racism, it's cool if you're proud of your race, but if you discriminate other races then run into a knife and die with your racist shithead friends.

Get the racism mug.Discrimination or stereotyping based on the erroneous concept of race. By far one of the stupidest ideas ever conceived.
Right wing activists need our help and consideration. They don't have it as easy as us. Attempts at communication are much harder, leading to isolation and lonelyness. Bids at social recognition seldom meet with success. It is a fact often overlooked that most buildings aren't made with the needs of right wing activists in mind.
