My apologies for thinking that googles define: racism was from merriam webster when they have a link directly to merriam webster underneath their definition. Either way the definitions are virtual identical, the merriam webster is actual MORE broad than the one I cited. So therefore feel free to replace the google definition with the merriam webster definitions and the logic I presented still stands.

My only problem with Rivals racism is that he is not perfect himself, yet he is on here spouting about other peoples shortcomings. Rival needs to take a look at his own racial prejudices before he downs on others for their own. If he is going to say that ruplayer (with english as a 2nd language) should be perfect while his own bash against ruplayer lists a variety of false racial stereotypes (which is often defined as a form of racism) then it just comes off as stupidity.

If you are claiming that rivals racism is not racism because he isnt out there attacking other races, then you could say the very same defense about ruplayer. I have never once seen ruplayer take any unjust action against anybody due to race, creed, or color. The way I see it, either rival is racist or ruplayer isn't. Take your pick.

Myself personally, I admit to my own racism. Admitting that you have grown up with racial stereotypes being blasted into your skull since birth isnt necessarily a negative thing. By admitting that you have racial predispositions it's much easier to identify them and not let them control your logical decision making processes.
