I think people try to use the words racism, discrimmination and prejudice interchangeably. There are all really different things. As I said before :
Racism it hating someone due to their race.
Prejudice is pre-judging someone you don't know ( we all do that)
Discrimmination is making a difference in treament of others on a basis othe than indiviual merit.
incorrect.
denotatively "discrimination" is merely noting the differences between individual subjects, with a connotation of making a choice of preference from among two or more subjects based on taste or needs.
That is pure meritocracy.
what you refer to is bigotry.
I prefer the original meaning: ..making a difference in treatment of others on the basis of perceived behavior or personal qualities (good or bad).
And then there's "Convinced".
Wrong-o.
BIGOTRY is hating someone due to their race.
RACISM is believing someone is inferior due to their race.
