Racism is different from 'anti-ism.'   Racism is about devaluation, about seeing a whole race or ethnic group of individuals as genetically inferior. As being a little less than fully human. Not about dislike or disagreement.

RACISM IS ABOUT DEHUMANIZATION!

Pedophilia is about dehumanization. Torture is about dehumanization.


I agree, sIx, that confronting racism where ever we encounter it is not necessarily easy. But it is still the right thing to do.
