color = race

racism = discrimination between race

For me it is not about racial differences (since I believe statistic differences exist), it is more about classification : 1 is better than another.

Note : even if I consider races exist, I also try to NOT focus on them when I judge/consider on someone : he is a human entity before being black/white/etc. Also, since people mix eachother, races are disappearing with time.

So...since I am white that must make black people a race and therefore not human? And vice-versa. Uh...not really.

 I think race is just a nicer way of saying "breed". Of course, us humans don't like to call ourselves breeds because it makes us seem too animalistic, and we wouldn't want that now, would we?

Coming from suburban south east England, I have to put up with a lot of racism. The racism isn't directed at me, of course, as I am white. But just hearing everyone around me making comments like "black man's gonna rape ya" "I hate them muslims, always bombing us" or "Asians can't drive" "You're Indian, so you're poor" "You're Polish so you're stealing our jobs" "You're cosovan, so you're stealing our benefits".

I hate hearing it so much, but I can't stop it, as it is nearly 60% of the people I know. Most of these people are 
really nice aswell, until you get onto the subject of race.
