Racism:
a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.
2.
a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3.
hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
Maybe this will help you determine it. I believe myself to be a superior human being, but not because I am white. I just think I am better than everyone else. That doesn't make me racist, that probably makes me a megalomaniac. I don't believe any races are inherently weaker or less deserving than others, but I do believe that there are people who are clearly inferior. Again, not racist. However, an outside perspective of me seeing an individual not of my race in that way would certainly deem me racist because reasons.
