What makes you say that?
1) its a behavior and attitude so its learned.
2) considering racism requires authority to mistreat an individual its not something you will do "accidentally." Note there is a difference between "accidental" and "ignorance."
Racism is a belief that there are hierarchal differences between races. That does not require authority.
I really get peeved when people start making up new definitions for words that have been around for centuries.
Anyone can have racists beliefs, not everyone's racist beliefs have any effects.
What was the point of this comment? Are you trying to marginalize the damage white leaders have done in Amerikkka under their belief of supremacy?
If not, then why argue semantics? We describe what you're referring to as "prejudice". The wording doesn't really matter as long as you grasp the concept of what's being discussed.
