I don't agree with your definition of racism.
Quote:
Also, "racism" isn't "stuff that acknowledges race" - its stuff that helps contribute to the systems of oppression of minority groups, duh. "Reverse racism" is not racism.

Prejudice, based on racial stereotypes is most definitely a form of racism. And there are a thousand ways it can be expressed. Furthermore, it's possible to have racist attitudes and still express opinions that are not racist. There's no causal dependency nor are they mutually exclusive. Griff had it right, racism is rooted in attitude, even unconscious ones, intention. It is about prejudice, pre-judging.
