Define racism

[UWS]

Jews are much wealthier than white people in south africa.

When race is not taken into account for placements (usually it is to try to force "equality"), east asians win almost ten times the amount of university slots than their population makeup in america.

Everyone is wealthier than blacks, in every country, whether it's a white country or not

Explain

White people are still advantaged due the residual effects of 400 years of formal white supremacy and ongoing racism known as institutional racism not to mention the violations of BEE and AA laws. A recent study in the USA found that job applicants with white sounding names were more likely to be called back for job interviews than applicants with black sounding names. It's probably the same here in SA.

What's your explanation. More in line with the FW de Klerk foundation or Thutu?

I disagree with it being a case of treating someone differently based on their race. What if a race existed that they were all born with one leg and three arms? We'd treat them differently in a sense of trying to accommodate them into our world better. The same goes for any genetic aspects, such as there being a higher risk of cardiac arrest in black males over 30 than there are white males over 30. Therefore doctors tend to look for heart problems in this segment of our population far closer than say a white, 40 year old male. The treatment is different but certainly not racist.

What is racist in my opinion is to classify one's race as superior in all aspects based purely on race. It is also pretty damn racist to consider oneself to be superior to another race based on subjective reasoning, such as education or criminal involvement, which happens in this country far too often...

Whoa... He didn't ask to save the world. Asked for a definition.

Every time you treat some one differently that is discrimination (by definition). If I choose to not let an armed man in to my house, that is discrimination.

We discriminate all the time, its a human trait.

The question you perhaps are trying to pose is that of FAIR discrimination.... something that is every hard to define.

Racism if most often confused with stereotyping. Saying all Afrikaners are dumb and all Indians are skelm isn't racism; it's stereotyping.

it also depends if you mean it or if it's a joke. you get dumb people who have to generalise and over-sensitive people who can't take a joke. i call. my friends the n word because rappers are always rapping about it and it's a private joke between us.

the problem with stereotyping is that often dof people want to live up to those stereotypes too

There is unfair inequality in the world, but there is also fair inequality.
Things don't only become fair when results are equal. If people are unequal then the fair result is inequality in favour of the person who is of a higher skill and/or put in more effort. Any other result is fallacious and unfair, and the oppressive envy of strength, and the irrational worship of weakness. Don't "reward" failure with a victim mentality and the rights of exploitation unless you want everyone to learn to fail.

Keep in mind

Equality is a lie concocted by inferior people who arrange themselves in herds to overpower those who are naturally superior to them. The morality of 'equal rights' is a herd morality, and because it opposes the cultivation of superior individuals, it leads to the corruption of the human species

Fallacy "Guilt by association"

[joy_Energiser]

Is accepting white privilege and doing nothing about the profound racial inequality in society seen as being racist? Perhaps denying or trying to cover it up is?

The question should not be is it happening, but WHY ? and do you think it is unwarranted ?

just wanted to show you the kind of groups the article attracts

Perhaps its a PD....
Racism is easy to define: Treating some one differently because they are a certain race.

I treat my Indian neighbours different to my black neighbours.....

[Apache]

Racism is when you define people according to race and believe that those different races have abilities that make them superior or inferior to other races.
A racist is a person who then acts on the above assumption.
