>Would you mind stop overloading the word racist with more definitions? People can be nationalists or biased towards group identities with many different flavors. The underlying issue is that people get discriminated.
I completely agree. I prefer 'bigotry' rather than 'racism'.
Mostly for the reasons you suggest, but also that 'racism' is a nonsensical term in the context of biology. Homo Sapiens is a single species.
As such, one could be racist against dolphins or dogs or daffodils, but not humans.
But we can still hate and be bigoted against those who don't look or talk or dress or act like "us."
