Hound, -OK , fair enough, you didn't ask me to agree with you on your definition of racism.
-But on the other hand, I can't help disagreeing with you on your definition.
you wrote; " And yes, in my personal opinion, most racism is based on fear of what is not understood. I'm not asking you to agree with me."
-Well,, if that's what you believe is the definition of racism, then that could be why you think so many people are racists and why so many subjects seem racist to you.
-Most people understand racism to be the belief that a person's race determines that person's capacities, and that as a result, one race or another has more or lass capacities i relation to other races, i.e., that one race can be better or worse by its very essence.
-Your definition of racism, i.e.,fear of what is not understood, would in most people's mind more closely resemble paranoia.
