Racism?

There has been a whole heap of rubbish posted recently about perceived racism. Not racial discrimination but racism.

The one constant is that a very large percentage of the writers and their subjects wouldn't know what racism was if it jumped up and kicked them in the &@%*.

In fact is racism even a thing?

A dictionary describes racism thus: Racism is the belief in the superiority of one race over another. 

I doubt one in one hundred of the supposed racism incidents publicised by the slime fit that description.

Most are simply a case of someone not getting their own way and looking for an excuse, in fact most cases cited are in fact the complainant being blatantly racist. 

Others are discrimination based on observed characteristics of holders of certain superstitions.

Being human, as most of us are, means that we will always think our groups way is right ahead of other groups but to label this racism so it can be decried is not just wrong, it is pathetic.

I will therefore continue to judge people as I find them, continue to consider certain people dishonest based on their superstition until they prove otherwise and continue to be very aware of certain people when I am around them.

i.e. I will try to act human.
