Re: Racist?
quote:
in other words if a person attaches a group name to any group of humans he is a racist.
To be a non-racist he would have to agree that all humans are the same, which they are Homo sapiens
Hi Bluescat,
that's far too wide a definition. If I call Inuit people Inuit is that racist? Likewise lawyers, French people, history graduates - etc.
Racism not about attaching names (unless they are derogatory names). It is about believing that some humans are less valuable than others because of race or nationality.
