Codified racism, plain and simple.

• littlestymaar 5y ago
  Not racism because it doesn't apply to race minorities only, but also disabilities, sexual orientations, or simply women (which aren't even a minority), but I can still understand that some might find it disturbing.

    So it’s not only racist

    Being a racist has nothing to do with being a minority or not. Let’s not forget that. The typical expression is majority onto minority group, but that is not a requirement. I.e. if I move to China (or your country of choice) I can in fact be racist toward the majority Han Chinese people living there despite me being a white minority. Likewise they may persecute me for my race and that would also be racism. I’d also argue the majority/minority thing is weakened in a global context. Why limit such things to the border of a county, city, or nation state?

    You're correct, I should have said codified bigotry.
