i think unfortunately people have confused the meaning of racist. often what people call racist these days is actually just prejudice.

It's like the boy who cried wolf.

What alot of people cry as racist these days, is actually just prejudice.

Racism is an actual ideology, like religion, it's something you believe in. when people use the word racism these days, they are actually talking about prejudice, and prejudice is not the same as racism.

racism is a belief system, a hatred of other races, a belief that other races are inferior to your own race.

What most people call "racism" these days, is actually just prejudice, and every one is prejudice. we all make judgements based on stereotypes, that doesn't mean you are necessarily racist though.

The media has confused the terms.
