I am a racist tho. I just don't racially discriminate against people. I think being a racist is just acknowledgement of our differences in race. 
People don't know what phrases mean. They just go with the implied meanings of things as they change in pop culture. This being a clear example

Don't racists by definition believe that those differences in race merit different treatment between races?
I'm not big on the social sciences but that's what I wrote on my anthro final and I got full credit

To me and my understanding of the definition of race, is a distinction of phenotypes amongst  a species. 
A culture is a group of living beings cohabitating in a closed in environment. Could be a mixture of many different races i.e. America as the great melting pot it is.

The problem is acts of "racial insensitivity" have managed to be misconstrued into outright "racism." It's a convenient and lazy defense mechanism for overly sensitive people to hide behind.

What the hell is outright "racism"? Is there a racist meter out there that tells you how racist you are?  If you do something "racially insensitive" to minorities.... aka.. forcing them to carry proof of citizenship.....ITS RACIST!!!!!
