racism: noun The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races. prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief.
Many people think being racist is a person who kills and beats and hurts people because of their race. That is true but it is more than that. Thinking someone is a bad driver because they are Asian is racist. Thinking someone likes chicken because they are black is racist. Thinking someone is an illegal migrant worker because they speak spanish is racist. Thinking someone is a cop or rich because they are white is racist. Making any assumptions about an individual based on racial and cultural stereotypes is racist. You might be racist and not even realize it. Just because you are not a part of some radical separatist group doesn't mean you can't have racist ideals and thoughts. Neither of which is healthy, and they harbor as well as create hate.
This article examines the word racism and argues its meaning is expanding."So maybe what is going on is that the term racist has expanded to describe an attitude, one which makes judgments about one belief being better than another, which is not racisms original meaning." It even goes into a little Christian philosophy and quotes a Chinese philosopher to make its point.
As in this article it can be seen that an attitude toward a group of people can be, or at least be interpreted as, racist.
At Harvard University, the police were called on an annual Association of Black Harvard Women, and Black Men’s Forum event. A string of emails were sent out questioning if the group belonged on campus which instigated the call to the police. view article it

1) L’Oréal is a private company and can advertise anyhow it pleases. If it feels white people are a better target for their advertising dollar, so be it. I aint buying Jet or any form of jerry curl ointment, so dont waste your time on me. (or in my very white suburb). That aint racism its marketing.
2)Illegal immigration is an issue. Admit that. Me, I dont care for man-made borders, nations-states etc., but they are here and reality for now. I say welcome anyone who chooses to come, and send those who wish to leave. But in reality there are laws, and as such, tose who are here illegally are 'illegals.' I dont see that as racist, only true, if stupid in policy terms.
3)Who the fuck are these Cabot House people? Get them off campus, either legally or physically. Seriously, rocks are cool things in this situation, if the reporting is accurate. Who do I mail a rock to?
If the reporting is shoddy, and I dont have any reason to think it is, just covering my bases, "Whoo H oo" on campus fucking drove me nuts, fratties or BSU alike.
4) Russle is my person that annoys me.
But L’Oréal has products that can be used for anyone...there is no need to discriminate when at the end of the day they offer products to all skin/hair types.
In fact, check out their homepage on their web site...it is a non-white model.
