There's a fine line between stereotypes and racism. Racism is a hate towards a race. (jews, blacks, whites, asians) People get kinda soft when it comes to stereotypes towards blacks although in American society black people sling around racial terms aimed at white folks all the time (cracker, cracka, and others) Making a "racist joke" is not really racism. Usually they are based off of generalized stereotypes of that race. aka black people being watermelon, kfc eaters with big lips and only like hip hop. Now these are untrue as I have seen black people listen to Screamo. I think I ran on a bit but anyways racism is what it is. HATING other races.
Being offensive to jews is anti-semitism, not racism, but is still discouraged.
the basis of antisemitism is indeed racism, lets break down the definition of Websters Anti-semitism : hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group Ethnic and racial group being the keywords now lets dive further by breaking down the definition of ethnic a. Of, relating to, or characteristic of a sizable group of people sharing a common and distinctive racial, national, religious, linguistic, or cultural heritage. b. Being a member of a particular ethnic group, especially belonging to a national group by heritage or culture but residing outside its national boundaries:

wiki's definition of race
"Race refers to the classification of humans into populations or groups based on various factors such as culture, language, social practice or heritable characteristics.[1]
Conceptions and groupings of races vary over time and reflect societal customs [2][3][4] in defining essential types of individuals based on perceived sets of traits."
so culture religion, and location are also taken into consideration
You would be making a valid point if it weren't for the fact that your source is wikipedia. Most every teacher in the world will tell you wikipedia is not a valid source of info due to the fact that anyone can edit it. If you took those definition from something like webster's dictionary and it said the same thing. I would see your point as acceptable and true. Not to say you didn't make a good point. However, the picture Kwaurtz posted helped support my arguement of there only being 3 main races in the world.
Popular belief is that race is based on appearance (this is where popular belief if actually correct,) nationality (which does in no way influences your genetic makeup, so it isnt part of race,) religion (which also does not influence genetic makeup,) culture (still no direct influence on the parent's genetic makeup.)
Scientifically, the only thing that can possibly effect ones race is the appearance and genes of the parents. Not the culture, not the nationality, not the religion. When you mix two of the main 3 races together you get your subraces. Mongolian is the most diverse among the subraces. You can be racist against the subraces and main races. In order to be racist, you must target something about their race that ONLY applys to their race. Any race can share the same religion, any race can share the same culture, any race can share the same nationality. Only one race can share the genetics to be of that race/subrace.
I'd be making a valid point???? last time I checked you were neither a teacher nor that this is a school. Although wiki may not have credentials like a professor with a ruler shoved up his ass would, wiki does have a basis of information collected from many other resources and the point your making saying anyone can edit is BS, they screen everything for factual information. Your point of the classic reference to race is correct but the definition has changed over time here's the definition of racism from dictionary.com -a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others. -a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination. -the belief that races have distinctive cultural characteristics determined by hereditary factors and that this endows some races with an intrinsic superiority over others -abusive or aggressive behavior towards members of another race on the basis of such a belief Now the definition of race 1. A local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics. 2. A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: 3. A genealogical line; a lineage. 4. Humans considered as a group.5. Biology a. An interbreeding, usually geographically isolated population of organisms differing from other populations of the same species in the frequency of hereditary traits. A race that has been given formal taxonomic recognition is known as a subspecies. b. A breed or strain, as of domestic animals. 6. A distinguishing or characteristic quality, such as the flavor of a wine. definition based on Webster classifications 1 : a breeding stock of animals 2 a : a family, tribe, people, or nation belonging to the same stock b : a class or kind of people unified by shared interests, habits, or characteristics3 a : an actually or potentially interbreeding group within a species; also : representing such a group b : breed c : a category of humankind that shares certain distinctive physical traits 4 obsolete : inherited temperament or disposition 5 : distinctive flavor, taste, or strength and now by dictionary.com 1. a group of persons related by common descent or heredity. 2. a population so related. 3. Anthropology. a. any of the traditional divisions of humankind, the commonest being the Caucasian, Mongoloid, and Negro, characterized by supposedly distinctive and universal physical characteristics: no longer in technical use. b.an arbitrary classification of modern humans, sometimes, esp. formerly, based on any or a combination of various physical characteristics, as skin color, facial form, or eye shape, and now frequently based on such genetic markers as blood groups. c.a human population partially isolated reproductively from other populations, whose members share a greater degree of physical and genetic similarity with one another than with other humans. 4.a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race. 5. any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race.

If you read my previous post you will see that calling someone a ****e.r, spic, jew, honky, shink, dingo is NOT racism at all.
There are only 3 races:
Caucasion - Typically but not limited to those of light skin tone, a variety of hair colors, and a pointy nose. They came from Europe.
Mongolian - Tanned skin tone and dark colored hair. Those who came from the middle east or asia.
Negro - In most cases darkened skin tone, greasier black hair, and a wider nose. Originated from Africa.
If you call someone a jew you are simply stating religion or nationality. Neither religion or nationality has to do with race. You can be a caucasion jew, mongolian jew, or negro jew. In the end, jew is simply stated as a nationality or religion.
These factors that DO NOT determine race:
-Culture
-Religion
-Location
Also the definition of Caucasian The term Caucasian race (also Caucasoid, Europid, or Europoid[1]) has been used to denote the general physical type of some or all of the indigenous populations of Europe, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, West Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia.[2] Historically, the term has been used to describe the entire population of these regions, without regard necessarily to skin tone.The definition speaks for itself, I don't need to clarify

I agree that humans are the number 1 parasite we are a disease if you will that spreads throughout earth, we consume more then what we "supposed" give back. To me this is not much of a debate but it still is a interesting topic to bring up.

Here is the definition as by wiki and for some part it is true
"Racism is the belief that the genetic factors which constitute race are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.[1] Racism's effects are called "racial discrimination." In the case of institutional racism, certain racial groups may be denied rights or benefits, or receive preferential treatment.
Racial discrimination typically points out taxonomic differences between different groups of people, although anyone may be discriminated against on an ethnic or cultural basis, independently of their somatic differences. According to the United Nations conventions, there is no distinction between the term racial discrimination and ethnicity discrimination.
There is some evidence that the meaning of the term has changed over time, and that earlier definitions of racism involved the simple belief that human populations are divided into separate races.[2] Many biologists, anthropologists, and sociologists reject this taxonomy in favor of more specific and/or empirically verifiable criteria, such as geography, ethnicity, or a history of endogamy."
Any racial slur or stereotype intended to be demeaning or not is racist.
stereotyping is the fact of pointing out differences and in theory making your self seem superior such as for exp.
black people liking chicken
Asian people having a small penis
redneck people marrying there sister.
women needing to get back in the kitchen
wholegrain being a wigger cracker
all of these statements are stereotypes and are demeaning in some form or fashion.
I myself crack racial jokes all the time but am I racist? I don't hate any race but the act of making the joke proceeds to mean that I am indeed, although I myself don't believe. So the determining factor of racism is the decided by the party it was intended for, not by pre-set definition. Wiki can give us all the detail and facts about what racism is but in the end its the person who reads or hears the statement that will determine whether it was a racist remark or not.
In short everything can be considered racist
Statements everyday can be taken out of context depending on the sensitivity of the person receiving.
any rebuttals I would gladly like to here I'm not a hardcore debater but its just my 2 cents on the matter

If people really have a problem with the swastika then they need to go google what it means, Im tired of flames because its considered indecent or racist, THE STUPID SYMBOL MEANS LUCK,LIGHT,LOVE,LIFE NOTHING MORE
"The Swastika" is the oldest cross and emblem in the world. It forms a combination of four "L's" standing for Luck, Light, Love and Life. It has been found in ancient Rome, excavations in Grecian cities, on Buddhist idols, on Chinese coins dated 315 B.C., and our own Southwest Indians use it as an amulet
symbols have always been defiled or demeaned, heck the Catholics did it in the crusades.
Sorry for my off-topic ness just wanted to rage a tiny but now back to this cool map!
