What is a racist?

Can someone tell me what that is? Apparently nobody is anymore. I understand it can be overused, but when i see a guy say nig and procede to generalize about other african americans.. he tends to say he isnt racist and say its the truth. So offtopic, my question is this. If you justify stereotypes because they are "true", what then are the requirements and situations when you can clearly make the call?

    Stereotypes and racism aren't the same thing. They were linked together by the ever growing, overly sensitive , whiny babies of the last generations. Stereotypes are things that stem from something that is seen as pretty accurate for most people of that stereotype, not all of course,but a large amount.(white people aren't as good at aports,black people having big lips,asians being good at math,Mexicans being landscapers) Racism is the idea that someone of a different race is less than you, beneath you and doesn't deserve rights equal to what you have based soely on the pigment of their skin. The entire idealism behind racism, in the ideas of the racist is to "cleanse or place" said other race. To have some sort elitism over them. Racism now is identified more by stereotypical comments or actual truths that people don't like hearing(omg he said it!) and less about one race being above another. TLDR Sensitive babies twisted the meaning of racism with stereotypical statements.

            • You are a racist if it fits your agenda, or someone elses agenda. So, yeah, just roll with it because its extraordinarily subjective.

                  • The state shouldn't practice affirmative action. Apparently that makes [i]me[/i] a racist. Does that make racial egalitarianism racist?

                      Racist is when you think your shit don't stink and you have nothing else to show for in life besides how you were born.

                    • This all makes sense now. It's good to know you finally changed your username, it was quite misleading for the longest time.

                            • Racism- A person who believes that race affects a person's personality. They will often believe that because of this, one race has better qualities than another.

                              I personally make the call when someone generalises a race in a negative way or if someone deems another race inferior and calls violence towards members of such race. [spoiler]Basically the KKK, naziz, and BLM[/spoiler]
