Where you are intolerant of another race or culture

Racism is first born from intolerance towards a person's race based on skin color and/or social position. Political correctness does NOTHING to end it; political correctness often FUELS racism, if anything (a good arguement why we should toss out PC in society).
Amazingly, racism carries a mix of both true AND false unfavorable FACTS aimed at a targeted race or group of people--making it easier to spread among a particular group of society far easier than a virus. And it's amazing how fast racism can spread to thousands of people.
And in time, racial intolerance grows into resentments, anger....and in many tragic cases, savage acts of blind violence.
Who in society are racist? Everybody: Name ANY skin color human race in society; there's your answer--they ALL are racist. But wait....it doesn't stop there.....not by any measure!!
People in authority also fall into being targets of racism: teachers ( hard azzes), co-workers ( whistle-blower / rat, brown-noser), police/law enforcement ( pigs, fuzz, the "5-oh"...etc) , political officials ( corrupt cronies, crooks).....even parents ( "Mom and Dad always favored Mary and Robert---who could NEVER do NO wrong-- over the rest of us siblings; we always were looked down on like crooks).
You get the idea. Will racism ever fully end? Likely not in our lifetime....or that of our great-great-great grandchildren.
And hard as it is for any of us to admit--WE OURSELVES, cross racist lines.

Hate towards an entire race based on who you've encountered or what you've experienced.
There are faults in every race of people. There are virtues in every race of people. Coming from a blue eye'd blonde who loves em all. I have also found things I am annoyed by in every race.

Hating or disliking someone based on the color of their skin and nothing else. Also, I think off-color jokes are racist remarks and the people who tell them are racists, even if they don't know it. There is no place for racism in 2007!

When you idiotically judge people based upon the color of their skin or their ethnic heritage instead of who they are as a person. See also moron for similar definition.
