Get the CEO of racismmug. A type of racism where people don't appear on the surface to themselves to be racist but advantage by and may support racist policy and institutional racism. A asymptomatic racist may justify such behavior under another guise of supporting policies such as law and order (to support LE officers profiling, selective enforcement of laws, brutal and inhumane police tactics), the right to protect one's self when threatened by people who are stereotyped as threatening, to win the war on drugs, and to assure people don't have unfair employment opportunities, against welfare because it destroys the incentive to work, assume some people are characteristically inferior, unfair business practices that target minorities, living in like minded highly segregated communities, etc.
Another asymptomatic symptom is when they do not say anything or attempt to prevent racist practices, and often have a personal benefit from allowing them to continue.
In some cases asymptomatic racism may be highly viable to the victims but not to those of the same race. For example, when someone touches their wallet when they see a minority, when a black person is not invited to a party because they may not fit in, when a person of another race is not given a supervisor position because of potential conflicts.

Arguing with someone with asymptomatic racism is difficult since they don't experience it and can't comprehend what a victim of the racism go through. However, they may actively resist any attempts toward equality or mitigating past racist practices such as affirmative action.

Get the asymptomatic racismmug. When someone (often an old foreigner) says something with a soft racial undertone about another race that is not meant to be derogatory but often comes out in a way that may make others slightly uncomfortable and slightly embarrassed yet sympathetic for said old person.
Often it is because of a difference in social and cultural norms that they say something softly racist.

Older foreigner: "When I was in India they were all shaking their heads left to right instead of up and down when they agreed with me. It was crazy" *does weird head motion* (cultural thing)
Young western people in room: "uhmm..err...hmm..i see"*feeling a weird uncomfortable combo of awkwardness and humour*
Young Indian guy in room: "Ha ha ya thats us alright" (slight awkward feeling of being caught off guard with some soft racism)

Get the Soft Racismmug. by NotacowboyXDDDD May 5, 2017
Get the accidental racismmug. The act of discriminating against selected idividuals of a certain race. To be specific, those who do not assimilate with their surrounding culture.
John: Look at Charlie Chan driving like an chink in his brand new Benz. I'll bet he's going to Parker Place
Dick: Fuck I want to bomb that place. It's just that I'm a believer in Selective Racism and might kill some cool foreign people!

Get the Selective Racismmug. Person 1: reverse racism isn't real, white people can't experience racism.
Person 2: No, it's not real. It's just called racism. Being prejudiced to any race is called racism.

Get the Reverse Racismmug. Unlike the previous definition that was heavily misleading, Institutional (or Institutionalized) Racism defined by sociologists actually refers to the discriminatory racial practices that are rooted into the political, economic, and educational systems.
People often have the misconception that this term is a "concept" or "ideology" that proposes some kind of theory to subvert white culture.
It is not a theory, it is not an ideology, it is not some sort of lame excuse used to defend an argument, it is merely a fact which states that some institutions, be it your family or your schoolmates at school, will hold biased views towards an ethnic minority as if it was commonsense. In fact, one might not even be aware that they are being racist (in contrast to intentional racism), hence it's not their fault.
For example, according to one study in 2005, black people in Kingston Ontario were nearly four times to be pulled over by the police compared to white people. The police force admitted that they never had the attention to cherry pick people based on race, it was just a systematic reaction that they formed unconsciously.
In reality, you are most ever likely to come across this term while taking a sociology 101 course. Anyone else who tries to discredit this but has not taken one course in sociology will only be embarrassing themselves, so use this term wisely. That goes for any other people who uses this term incorrectly or in the wrong context.

Butthurt SJW: ERMAGERRDD ARE YOU BEING INSTITUTIONALLY RACIST!?!? DO YOU NOT REALIZE HOW STUPID YOU ARE FOR NOT REALIZING THAT!?!?! Breaking the 4th wall here, they're actually the stupid one for not realizing this is unconsciously performed.
Butthurt Anti-SJW: Look kid, no one gives a shit about Institutional Racism, it's just a pathetic excuse made by leftists to justify themselves so that everyone is racist except for them

Rational Sociology Student: *clears throat* 1) If you look it up on urban dictionary, Institutional Racism actually refers to the discriminatory racial practices that are rooted into political or educational systems 2) Institutional Racism is often unconsciously performed by the actor hence people get confused when others call them racist And 3) FYI the term is not used by leftists but by academics in the social sciences to help examine the causes of racism and its historical roots.
Butthurt Anti-SJW: Aw look at this pseudo-intellectual trying to sound smart, i bet that definition has so many dislikes on urbandictionary lmfao
