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)

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!

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.

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
*interrupts flame war*
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
Rational Sociology Student: Would you care to attack me with more of your silly little ad homs, or would you be willing to deflect what I had just said with your clear academic peer-reviewed proof?
*No answer*
Rational Sociology Student: Yeah that's what I thought, gg get rekt skrub
Butthurt SJW: Yeah gotem good there

Micro-Racism is when some somebody is kinda racist usually without realizing it. Usually happens when some privledged white person who is racially ignorant and makes some dumb comment. Like Bradley or some shit says “why can’t white people say the n-word???? Cause their white????? That’s reverse racism.”
Chet: (to black person) “heyyyyy you look like Beyoncé”
Kevin: (to brown person) “where are you from?”
Anyone: “that’s kinda racist..... like micro-racism”

The activity of posting racist comments on the internet. Includes any and all activity that disseminates, reinforces, promotes or perpetuates racial hate via the web. Written by an e-racist, these hate-filled rants are typically found on message boards and public comment sections throughout cyberspace.
If you read the public comments at Youtube for the Micheal Richards video, you'll agree that the level of e-racism displayed there is quite shocking.
Example #2: Every time a black person is voted off American Idol, the public message board for the show over-flows with e-racism.
