New to this board, define "racism"

1. Racist.
2. Racist, if you mean white Jews.
3. Tricky one. Do you think this cultural difference is rooted in biological difference? Can it be changed?
4. Not racist. Depending on what comes after, it can be antisemitic.
5. Potentially racist, depending on your conclusion.
6. Racist.
7. Not racist.

Only the last two are racist

Bowing to random Asians is not racist but it is really stupid and ignorant. Should probably have an idea of who you're dealing with and what country before doing that, likewise with random white people.

Conversations on race is not the same as having a belief about someone based on race or treating someone with prejudice based on race which would all be racist. However those questions you asked could be considered rude based on the individual.

Which part is antisemitic, the thought of questioning, the questioning, the conclusion or "hating jews" based on the findings?

Do all holocaust deniers (ie anyone who doesn't conform to the EXACT official explanation of the holocaust) hate jews?

What is your definition of racist, i'm curious about you

So we agree that the definition is too broad and leads to misunderstandings.

Nah, Jack Chick doesn't conform to the official explanation of the holocaust but he doesn't hate jews: he blames it on Catholics.

I don't think he is more racist than anyone else. I do think his obsession with creed is similar to some other people's obsession with color.

>That's discrimination, not racism.

Discrimination is an umbrella term you nugget.

Racism is just discrimination on a racial basis.

To me, racism is the belief that there are significant physical and mental differences between races of humans, and they should be treated differently.

I'm sure you can look up Holocaust denial and what scholars thoughts on it are but questioning what happened and how big of a tragedy it was can be antisemitic. While saying for instance only a few thousand jews dies is not actually saying it didn't happen, it is putting lo little emphasis on it especially compared to how many died during the war, it's is almost covering it up. Denying it in full is also covering it up. The implication that jews masterminded the holocaust is a conspiracy and is almost certainly antisemitic since it would pretty much generalize all jews as this secretive group that used lies and forgery to meet their own ends. Moreover using this conspiracy to rationalize hating a group of people is antisemitic.

Just the thought of thinking the holocaust is made up is reasonable to an extent that most people question if all that happened in the past really happened. Of course that is biased towards one's own value of viewpoint. Just because you weren't there and saw it for yourself or were not shown all the evidence for you to peer over for your own time is not a logical reason to say something didn't happen.

Racism isn't incredibly broad but it does lead to misunderstandings, yes.
