To me, being racist is having the power to oppress someone because you have a negative view of a person and you feel superior to a person of a different race other than yourself. Me personally, I don't give a shit if someone is racist or not. You can hate as many 'niggers', 'wetbacks', 'spics', and 'chinks' as you want. Go to as many KKK rallies you want. When you're a person who is in the position that hires people for employment, housing, banking or anything of that nature where your asinine views can directly affect someone, then there is a problem. Racists should never be in a position of power.
