I think everyone has the definition of racism wrong...Being a racist is a person who feels that their race is superior to others..This was the bases that white America used to enslave blacks and later segregate them...Racism was also true for the KKK, who felt like Whites were superior to all other races...Hitler was another racist who felt that blonde hair and blue eyes were the better people...
I think we do have a few racist people left, but over all I think we have a problem with prejudice people not racist people...
