Racism means attitudes, practices and other factors that disadvantage people because of their race, color or ethnicity. Racism can be directed against any race, color or ethnicity.
Some examples of racism are obvious, such as graffiti, intimidation or physical violence. Racial and ethnic slurs and "jokes" are other examples. Unfortunately, they are often ignored because people do not know how to deal with them.
Other forms of racism are not obvious, such as discrimination in hiring and apartment rentals, or policies that disadvantage members of certain races, whether intentionally or not.
Racism exists at three main levels: individual, institutional and cultural.
Individual racism takes the form of individual attitudes, beliefs, values and behaviours. Racial prejudice, bigotry, belittling and jealousy are examples of racist attitudes. Examples of racist beliefs are racial stereotypes, the belief that some races are better than others and even the belief that people can be classified according to race in the first place. Violence, name-calling and discrimination in hiring are examples of racist behaviour.
Institutional or systemic racism takes the form of the practices, customs, rules and standards of organizations, including governments, that unnecessarily disadvantage people because of their race, color or ethnicity. They do not always involve differences in treatment. Educational requirements that are not related to actual job duties are an example.
Cultural racism are the cultural values and standards that disadvantage people because of their race, color or ethnicity. Examples are cultural expectations as to the race of a company president and the cultural standard for what a beautiful, trustworthy or competent person looks like.

And it might be pertinent that nominations are substatiated by actual instances... thus giving the accused the ability to repond to their accusers 😛
Reason: Got a ban from an online forum for making numerous bigoted posts attacking Ireland and it's people. Mods received pages of alerts and responded to them.
widget gets his merry men together and start attacking mods, and when he comes back after his hiatus, he's still crying into his wine, and trying to stir up trouble, like you'd expect a typical hormonal pre-pibescent.

From one of the few posts of yours remaining in the thread.
Great joke, widget. 🙄

I was somewhat appalled that so few had any working knowledge of the Irish Patriot Johnathan Swift's works 😛 Que syrah! (... a wino joke, Rags!)
I will definitely try to "dumb it down", as suggested, in future posts that might be misinterpreted so literally by the naive and unsophisticated 😞

Actually widgets transformation from a harmless, albeit incoherent person to a complete twit reminds me of a recent drink induced murder case in Ireland.
This guy got drunk and made a fool of himself at a part his sister organised. The next day he had the mother of all hangovers, watched some tv with his sister, then went into the kitchen and got a claw hammer. He coolly went over to her and beat her to death before repeatedly stabbing her. The he sat down, opened a beer and watched some more tv, dragging a blanket over her body.
So I guess the moral of the story is, that booze can alter the brain for the worse.
Be careful out there kids.
