racism should be used to describe a certain type of horrible crime, other wise, it just fits into normal prejudice.
prejudice and racism are NOT the same thing.

Sorry but can we politely agree to disagree. And I of all people don't believe what the media tells me. IN fact I do not watch the BBC news at all now as I know it doesn't cover the most important stories any more and just puts over the viewpoint of the establishment.
I have very left wing views and have been an active member of the left for ages. I know very well about thought control and either ignorant or just plain corrupt versions of terms and events broadcast by our media.
I made my own mind up and I am well educated and have a lot of experience in actually standing up to racism so I know that there are a lot of people who would be called just prejudiced are in fact racist but they won't admit to it, and I said the leaders of those who openly and knowingly admit to it are
the worst, but the sheep or followers who are seen as just prejudiced are also really dangerous and their treatment of others has to be stopped before it spreads as any form of racism if not tackled can lead to attacks and murder eventually, and it's the number of the idiots that just follow and are
prejudiced that is the problem, a few of them will because of other pressures IE financial or work end up actually r hurting
Can we just politely disagree.Notice how I have not just said "No You Are Wrong" at you, although I think you are
