Technically for something to be racism it has to be based on the notion that your race/ethnic group is superior, thus a racist is someone who is prejudice or discriminatory based on racism.

I've been telling people on here and elsewhere this for the longest, but because many of them seem to be brainwashed, and simply to dayum lazy to go do research themselves they FEEL it means the same thing. For the most part, this new generation is so dayum insecure they have gone and changed many words in the dictionary to their own meanings. I guess they said to hell with webster......Lmao

Most people dont know the difference. I will be honest, I dont. Although, it can be argued that a negative always has an opposite postive. So if someone says something negative about another race than that means that they believe that another race, probably their own, is on the positive side. Which would fit your definition of racism because they believe that their race is on the postive side and the postive side is superior to the negative side. I hope that made sense. I am gearing up for my philosophy class.

well, the majority of people on this planet aren't intelligent. im a jew and grew up with a friend who was racist. he told me not to worry 'cause he wasnt racist against jews. i said "thats because 'jew' isnt a race." he replied by calling me a crafty jew.
people are stupid.

Because most don't know the difference between racist and bigoted.
