Everything is racist now. Eating chicken, watching football, smiling, blinking, wearing shoes, using Windows Vista, driving a Fiat...all racist. They'll need a new word soon for people that are actually prejudiced against people of a different ethnicity. Perhaps Super-Racist or Racist Level II.

One of my son's mates told me that someone down the park was being racist. I asked him what they'd said.
He replied "he was taking the piss out of people in wheelchairs" !

You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name.

They might have been Paralympians.

I do find myself every few months having to explain to the eldest aged 12 what proper racism actually is as there is no doubt via his friends and/or school he is being exposed to confusing and diluted versions of what they perceive to be racist when it is actually not.

"Excluding people and/or haranguing them or physically attacking them because of their skin colour is racism"

if it's religious hate then it's bigotry.

It's that bleedin' simple.

The rest of it, the 'grey area' - the vast majority - is racialist not racist and more often than not nothing to do with hatred. Paul Gascoigne's bit of trouble recently being a case in point.

Let me clear this up for you all.

There is no "race" so there can be no racism. There is only racism in law which is designed to protect minorities and avoid conflict, but it has no scientific basis whatsoever.
Racist is a term that people use describe all kinds of prejudice ranging from religious to tribal,national,cultural and sometimes superficial physical differences but often it is just a political word that allows people to shut down an argument or try and gain advantage in a situation.
The reasons why people dislike or are suspicious of each other is often very complex and the simple term "racist", as well as being inaccurate, just doesn't cover it at all.

Thanks.
