Racism is a very slippery term, and I am often not sure what people really mean by it. I don't tend to use the word myself.
What does racism mean to you? Don't be lazy and copy paste something plz, tell me in your own words (Which may or may not happen to be in a dope order).

Holding a negative opinion about an individual you have no history with due them being part of an extremely broad category known as "race"
I try not to judge and constantly get fucked over, judgement is good and prudent but mostly superficial.
And if you go that route there's tons of shit to base your criteria on, dress, speech, where they live, religion.

Not wanting to be around black people.
Just what it means to me, and how it is generally used.

A racist is like a pianist, whereas the pianist understands the piano and can make a living off it as an instrument, and may be inclined to make everything about pianos because it's their life, trade, passion, etc.
The racist is simply the race equivalent.
Some anti racists like to say there's only one race, the human race.
Well, it may be more correctly called a species, rather than race. Like glyceroltrinitrate vs nitroglycerin.
And in that case, racists are really speciesists

I'd say it has more in common with dog breeds than species. Chromosomes n all that.
chihuahuas<------>rottweilers. Same?
And now i guess i could be labeled a vile racist. No nuance with people.
