I've only encountered racists a handful of times in real life. Typically it almost makes more sense to simply call them bigots because they really only have one or two opinions about specific races or ethnic groups. Normally, that was the result of some negative experience or series of negative experiences. Strongest reaction I've had was from a Latino who started yelling about how much he hated Somalis because they always carried knives and stabbed people. This was because I told him a Somali had stabbed someone down the road. This is typically the norm with racial bigotry.

The only time where I find true-blood Racialism in real life, where racial bigotry is a ideological world view or narrative of history, is exclusively among the political Left, and is normally Black National Socialist nonsense espoused by self-hating whites, or utterly delusional middle-class blacks, typically in "educated" environments; and most recently in professional middle-managerial corporate settings because it's the same people saying the same shit, but at their job.

Outside of that, Racialism basically doesn't exist outside the internet.

You are wrong. Racism, or rather, in group preference, is the norm. Humans naturally divide themselves into their respective ethnic groups, uplift the in-group, and bias against the out-group. And the strongest and most obvious in-group is the biological. nuclear family —> extended family—> extended relatives —> people that look and act like me.

Everybody is inherintly “racist” and the only thing that’s changed in the last 50 years is they’ve convinced white people they’re bad for it while encouraging it in every other ethnic group.

Equality among races is a white concept. That standard exists nowhere outside of white countries.

You're redefining the word intentionally. You might as well say that children affiliating with their parents is racism. It isn't. You admit this yourself by confusing the word "race" with "ethnic group".

Even among people who have a strong ethnic preference, it certainly is not the case that it is you default to an ingroup preference of a race over ethnicity, and ethnicity over familiarity. An American white is not likely to affiliate with a non-English Russian who shares no religion, value set, language, or economic tie; compared to the American black neighbor he went to school with, speaks the same language, and has the same religion.

Racism is not that ethnic groups have an in-group preference, you are trying to re-define your way into winning an argument like a Leftist. It isn't even that racial groups have an in group preference.

Racism is where you have people who have specific hatred or fear of another race (or for some reason their own) as a racial collective.

like a Leftist

This is your biggest tell, btw.

How do you win an argument with a conservative? Call him a racist!

What if he doesn’t care about being called a racist? Call him a leftist.

Oh gee, oh no, I’m a leftist? I’m a socialist? I’d better cuck to gay civnat suicide!

Then admit that you are a socialist and that everything you think, do, say, plan, and act out is guaranteed to fail at the cost of everyone you claim to be helping.

Don't cry to me about being a socialist because you don't like the term. Actually fucking use the term that was invented for you and stop being a coward. "I'm a nationalist!" No, you're fucking not.

So your "it's culture" comment falls flat. Because yes that's the neo-lib conventional wisdom but historically it isn't accurate. And the times it HAS been accurate. It's been modern and exclusive to Whites.

I'm not even editorializing on this point. Conclude what you will.

So you think a Somalian being violent is an outlier because you personally only know of one incident, and then you projected your own ignorance unto someone who accurately - if accidentally - generalized Somalians.

People who regularly interact with large numbers of Somalians, and correctly label them as basically terrible, are racists?

I literally never said anything about outliers. Stop making stuff up.

I also didn't generalize. I quoted. Stop making stuff up.
