Quoting vineyards: In addition to what I previously said, we must actually be talking about ethnic hatred which is of course quite different from racism. |
I don't understand why everybody just jumped on vineyards because of this post, again without any explanation on why you don't agree with him. This is a very interesting question to think about - what is the difference between ethnic hatred and racism. Obviously these are different issues, but how exactly are they different is a very interesting question. Maybe some or most of the manifestations of these two problems are very similar, but they are still two different issues.

I think you misunderstood me, Catwoman. My question "why" was a genuine question. I am ignorant of the difference between ethnic and racial hatred.
I dont DO jumping!

No I am not offended - because my humour is generally sarcastic I can't complain that people always assume I am this way!!!
If you re-read both my posts without sarcasm you will see that they were genuine questions.

This is how was racism is considered in the U.S. Racism in the U.S. is considered to be a dislike/negative concept of one person based on their ethnicity, which in turn leads to a refusal or denial of opportunities to advancement-jobs/education, inability to live comfortably-violence/harassment/threat of bodily harm. Racism has to do with power to keep an individual or group of individuals from pursuing their hopes, dreams, aspiration and from aquiring or maintaining basic rights and priviledges that members in other ethnic groups enjoy. So while we use racism interchangeably wtih prejudice or even ethnic hatred...until prejudice or ethnic hatred becomes a systematic action it is not racism.
That is my understanding of racism based on readings and lectures from Prof. Pedro Noguera former U.C. Berkely faculty. I am sure that others have defined it differently. Too, common usage has rendered these terms as synonyms. And as in all languages, terms and their connotations change from speaker to speaker year after year!
