RACISM: N. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement,usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
Every day I hear someone say the word RACIST. Every five minutes, it seems, I hear someone else say "Ohhh, that's racist" or "god, you're so racist!"
With America's history, what with slavery and then the racial turmoil of the 1960s, Americans are as wary of racism as they are of swine flu ;). Now, Racism is wrong, but there is a difference between intended cruelty and innocent observation. If they actually catalogued all of their thoughts in a day, those people who slam everyone for being "racist" would find that a good portion of their thoughts could be considered "racist" by other paranoid analysts. Simple observations or innocent ponderings are completely misconstrued in this "tiptoe through the tulips" age. Nobody should ever discriminate by race because it's pure cruelty, but people need to lighten up a bit and stop nit-picking every phrase that comes out of people's mouths
