When I was in high school I dated a Latina girl that I worked with at a retail store.  Her father didn't approve of me and was pretty open about it.  Ultimately she ended it with me because her father was such a racist. 

That sucked, she was really cute, and a great person.

She was of different ethnicity, but the same "race".

Eh, so the official documents say I guess.

But that's not how it works down here.  It's racism.

And also, here's a definition of racism:

rac·ism
/ˈrāˌsizəm/


noun

  • prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
    "a program to combat racism"



    • the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another.
      "theories of racism"

I think that is a recently generalized term.  But the term "race" technically doesn't really mean much, except in the extremes.  We have a lot of "us" who are not clearly one race of the other.

I don't think racism and sexism is the same thing, not is racism and ethnoism the same thing.

Bigotry and discrimination toward someone that looks different than you, can pretty simply be defined as racism.  I'm good with that as a working definition, I don't think it needs to be more complex than that.

And that's exactly what happened to me.

It feels weird that you're trying to diminish a racist man's racist actions,  on technicalities.  I'm not sure why you'd do that.

why are you being so anal about this

did something happen to you in your past to cause this reaction

if someone discriminates against another because they are a particular color thats racist always has been and always will be

I too think racism is meant today to be more things than intended by the term

because you look different, it's racism?

not being anal, just being literal

I suppose society can over time change the definition of a term, but.............

Racism generally means you think you race is superior to other races on whatever basis.  

I agree the term has become broadened in its use.

It's interesting how Harvard et al. discriminate AGAINST Asians in their entrance policies, but somehow that isn't racism.  It's a tactic admission they think Asians are more academically accomplished than white folks.

Acting on it in a prejudiced, discriminatory or bigoted manner, as a result of a difference in skin color, is an act of racism.

My HS girlfriend's dad was a racist.

This is simple stuff.

Then it's prejudice and bigotry but not racism.  Not all forms of bigotry are racist but they're all still wrong obviously.  On this site, we have one poster that constantly belittles and looks down on people who live in the South, and especially those who live in the country.  He believes they are ignorant rubes that don't deserve to live their own lives without the intelligent elite commanding them how to do so.  He is quite possibly the biggest and most open bigot I've ever encountered, it's truly astonishing how twisted and sad his world view is.

Ultimately it doesn't really matter what you call it though. I was discriminated against, because of the color of my skin.

Again, really simple stuff.  Only pot-stirrers and people with odd agendas would choose to pick these nits.
