According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary racism is a belief that race is a primary determinant of human traits and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority or inferiority of a particular racial group.
Racism is more than just slurs. Certain groups of people feel superior to other groups and treat them accordingly. I feel a prime example of a racist in today’s society would be Pastor Terry Jones. He threatened to burn the Koran if a controversial mosque was built near the 9/11 terror attacks. Mr. Jones is turning against a whole race for the actions of some Islamic people.
