> Do you think that treating people poorly and outright discriminate against them based on racism is only an ideological issue? Actually, yes, because racism is an ideology and a world view that says your own race/lineage is better. > To put it differently, do you think that South Africa's apartheid system is only a problem if you frame it through a communist/marxist perspective? Racists do exist, AND communists try to control society.

I don't think that word means what you think it means. > Racists do exist, AND communists try to control society. Clearly racism exists, but not because of ideologies or political and/or economical theory. Institutionalized racism in private companies has absolutely no relationship with any red herring like communism or marxism. Blabbering about communism in a discussion over racism sounds like a lame attempt at a false dichotomy and whitewashing institutional and casual racism.
