Get the nouveau racism mug.A form of racism exhibited by those who think that because a minority has suffered in the past, they are immediately less capable of logic, rationality, character, and success. Someone who is paternally racist thinks that due to these perceived shortcomings, minority members need constant hand-holding and affirmation in order to make it. Paternal racists will often believe they know what's best for minorities and feel very comfortable speaking for entire minority groups. This stems from their inability to acknowledge that minority individuals are just as capable and competent as them. Paternal racism is frequently witnessed in individuals who are over-eager to prove to others how non-racist they are. Paternal racism is superficially well-intentioned, but in reality thrives on categorizing minorities as lesser beings. It perpetuates the damaging stereotype that minorities are less capable and need help for everything.

Reverse racism is a term coined by white people, overcompensating for their white fragility.
Some incorrectly believe reverse racism is supposed to refer to a minority race being favoured over the majority race (white people) but this is not racism in any way, shape or form; this is simply the modern times catching up with, eroding and eradicating white supremacy.

Get the politically correct racism mug.It's really very simple.
Racism is when you believe that you're inherently objectively superior to one person or a group due to genetics (there other things but this is why you're here).
Prejudice is having a certain expectation of an individual based on subjective factors.
Our severely weak society has gone to great lengths to ensure that these two ideas, while wholly separate, become one in the same, allowing the weak of our society to manipulate power and wealth from others.
The trick is very deft and would be beautiful if it wasn't so evil.

Racism vs Prejudice
Racist:
Hateful guy: "There's a black guy! Man, I hate niggers for their wide noses and penises. They should all die or be put in servitude because they're black."
Prejudice:
*Black guy walking down the street at 2 a.m. in Brownsville, Brooklyn.*
*Spies two black guys wearing extremely loose clothing and an undignified walk pacing towards him.*
"Hmmm, I'm going to cross the street now."
These two scenarios are not the same.
One displays the content of his character and his feelings towards a group as a whole.
The other does neither.
Learn to tell the difference between the two. After doing this and understanding the central and honestly quite obvious differences, listen carefully to hear when someone confuses the two (it won't take long), their ulterior motives are now obvious within this new frame of mind.
You have now acquired the ability to identify charlatans at will.
Use this ability for the good of mankind, it is needed desperately.
