finally a post of yours i can agree wholeheartedly with

The bottom line is, for me, racism in its most basic form is any kind of derrogatory or driscriminatory actions based on race. I do agree that when one racial group goes to the extreme of exerting control over another race that it is more serious than someone shouting a racial slur, but they're both different forms of racism. historically, racism has been used by MANY different races to put minority groups in a place of extortion and submission. China did it with Tibet, Iraq did it with the kurds, turkey did it with armenia, ethiopia and eritrea were locked in a racial war for years, rwanda committed one of the most autrocious racial genocides in history. in no way is this kind of racism reserved for whites, and it's absurd to say it is.
