I know the definition of racism from Mr. Webster, but what I want to know are your own experiences that have demonstrated racism. What are the clear delienation lines when you could truly say the person is a racist? Can you share these with us?

It is a way how other nationalities perceived others as feeling superior.

Right, the term 'feeling superior' is one of the reasons, I guess.

I think this is a thing of the past. People are more mature these days and more open to unity in different races.

I hope so, but I encounter so much racism with my fave Korean band. Just because they're Korean, racists underestimated their music and belittle them. but I'm glad they have always come on top of all this BS.

@ihasaquestion yes, and they are also good people. That's what I like the most.

@Jenaisle I don't like Korean music but I respect the hype for it. So, I know what you mean. They have great looking singers though.

I like that, on that regard, female discrimination also occurs at work. Males being preferred?

I haven't faced racism in my life yet. I think any kind of discrimination one does of other which hurts the other person's feelings is racism

Yes, to my fave band, BTS. Their music is always understimated because of their language and ethnicity.

Racism is the notion that distinct groups of individuals have different behavioural qualities matching to hereditary characteristics, and that these groups may be segregated based on race supremacy.

Right, race supremacy is one of the reasons. People believing they are superior than others.

It can be a form of inequality, religious beliefs, way of life and many more. Racism comes in different forms depending on how and on what basis it is being expressed.
