Are You a Racist?

I am a racist.
I have all sorts of race-based reactions to
people of the same & other races. And I
disapproved of some of Obama's policies.
There are worse faults than being racist.
Socialist, for one.

I'm a racist. In fact, I'm going to watch some NASCAR on YouTube here in a few minutes.
My children are mixed race. How un-racist is it to let someone of another race into your body and impregnate you?
Met a few, i reckon being an ******* is as good a description as any

A racist is a person who always mentions skin color.
To boink someone of another
race isn't necessarily un-racist.
(It could be "jungle fever".)
Seriously, though. A racist is one who discriminates and judges others based on the color of their skin.
I grew up in a very racist household. So much so, in fact, that my mother commented on my granddaughter's skin tone and hair color after seeing photos and asked what her father was, and my daughter and I felt in necessary to give my mother a heads-up before meeting her great-granddaughter that she was part Puerto-Rican and part Guyanese.
What disqualifies me is that I do not judge people...period.

FWIW, my answer above is serious.
Except for the Obama policy thingie.
(I mentioned that cuz an RF poster told me
that disagreeing with Obama is racist. Really.)
Maybe we should start a thread sometime on the evils of socialism...
In addition to the other 3,178?
Nah.

According to some people, I'm racist because I'm white.
That's another question. Can of should you go about deciding for other people whether they are a racist?
It's generally not useful to tell other people they are.
It takes an fair degree of tolerance for another race to let someone of that race boink you.
I was raised in a racist milieu. When it was time to sell my parent's house, a neighbor said that they hoped one of "them" would not buy it. I knew who "them" was.
I've learned to recognize that reaction in me and to reject the racism that I learned when very young. So I'm in the grey zone of those who have learned racism when very young but reject it today.
This is a very good thread.
If I think of the word racist...and then I compare it with the equivalent word in my language...well...I think Americans use that word much more often than us.
We use it less frequently...and when we do...that word does not have that disastrous connotation that Americans attribute to it.
If a person is called racist...it is not that big of a deal.
Back to the question, I am not.

True. There was a BNP rally once in my town, and they were all ********.
I am Socialist to the bone.
First, I think we need to start this conversation with a definition of racist. Webster's dictionary:
Definition of racism
1: a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
I would probably be classified as a racist then because I believe there are inherent (genetic) traits that affect outcomes and that that these traits are best understood as bell curves with different center points.
For example, I think the explanation for black dominance in basketball involves genetic factors. I believe the high disproportion of Ashkenazi Jews in Nobel Prize and other highly intellectual fields also involves genetics.
Now for me there are two types of racism. The direct kind that comes from observation and honest consideration (which I follow) AND the evil kind that produces hatred and mistreatment by race (which I don't follow).
Where I believe current political correctness has gone wrong is in creating the one sledgehammer evil term 'Racism' as it is used today. As I said, there are two types of racism.
