Casual Racism

The art of being slightly racist in a casual fashion. It's when one doesn't really hate people of another color, but finds jokes about them ridiculously funny. The casual racist will often make jokes about his own race in addition to jokes about other races. The casual racist does not hate, he appreciates.
Tom: What's the difference between a black man and a bench?
Treyshawn: I don't know. What?
Tom: A bench can support a family of four!
Treyshawn: Hey, that's racist!
Tom: But you know I love you, man!
Treyshawn: Yeah, I guess it's just casual racism.

Horizontal Racism

The results of people of targeted racial groups (Blacks, Lations/Hispanics, Asians, Native) believing, acting on or enforcing the dominant (White) system of racist discrimination and oppression. Horizontal racism can occur between members of the same racial group or between members of different, targeted racial groups.
Horizontal racism occuring between members of the same racial group: An Asian person telling another Asian who is wearing a Sari to dress like an "American". A Latino person telling another Latino to stop speaking Spanish.
Horizontal racims occuring between members of different targeted racial groups: Latinos believing stereotypes about Native Americans, Blacks not wanting Asians to move into predominantly Black neighborhoods, etc.

Institutional Racism

Generally defined by social justice warriors to mean an entire society that is set up to discriminate against anyone who isn't white. People who believe in this concept believe that anyone who isn't white won't be able to succeed in this world because everything around them has a history and culture associated with it that's designed to keep non-whites down.

In reality, it's an attempt by leftists to create a "no lose" definition in which anyone who disagrees with it is a "racist" and is part of the problem. Additionally, it's designed to ensure that people of color are dependent on white liberals for everything that they obtain or earn in life.

American university professors (who are almost always white) will preach this concept to their students until they're blue in the face and will threaten to file a bias incident against them if they dare to have a different opinion.
Student: I heard that Jimmy didn't get into the local university.
Idiot: Well, Jimmy's black, and he couldn't get in because of institutional racism.
Student: Are you sure that it wasn't because he didn't ever come to class and was held back twice?
Idiot: You're a racist!

environmental racism

Environmental racism is a type of discrimination where people of low-income or minority communities are forced to live in close proximity of environmentally hazardous or degraded environments, such as toxic waste, pollution and urban decay.
Cases of environmental racism have been documented around the world, with one of the first high-profile cases occurring in the 1980s in Warren County, North Carolina, when a hazardous waste landfill was constructed in the small, predominately African-American community.

Individual Racism

The beliefs attitudes, and actions of individuals that support or perpetuate racism. Individual racism can occur at both an unconscious and conscious level, and can be both active and passive.
Individual Racism at the subconscious level. A White person who locks their car doors when a Black man walks by, refuses to date an Asian men because of their emasculation, refuses to date a Black women because of her attitude, doesn't want to hire a Latino because they are lazy (these are all stereotypes that he/she may believe)
Individual Racism at the conscious level is having an acknowledged prejudice against People of Color.
