The article is not bullsh*t since it is from a university website.
The other one is from Edchange.org

http://www.edchange.org/

This is a link to the organization, I provided a link to the actual article when I quoted a bit of it a couple pages ago.

yes it's from a university, but the article is actually an opinion paper, so it has no more credibility than anyone else's opinion on here. I also find it funny that the second example you've given gives no mention to the connection between racism and RACE. That right there sould tell you that whoever wrote the article has gotten far too carried away with their thesis of racism only being applied to those who are not in power.

I'm pretty sure you know that by group they meant race.
What makes a dictionary any less of an opinionated source?

Someone wrote that definition. They just have no reasoning as to why they wrote it. (understandably as it is featured in a dictionary, not an article/opinion paper)

jibber

when did i mention anything about the dictionary? I was merely pointing out that just because the paper you referenced was written by a university, it doesnt make it the be all and end all of the argument. And no, I didn't know that by group they mean race, and the entire article downplays the issue of race being the primary factor of racism, to give more credit to the argument that it is more about a power struggle. racism in its simplest and most basic definition is descrimination of a person because of their RACIAL BACKGROUND. the only reason power comes into play at all is because throughout history, racism has been widely accepted until relatively recently, giving the more industrial developed countries what they believed to be justification to exploit the people of less developed nations. It only so happened that the more industrial developed countries were the european nations.

Two afghani's marooned on an island with 500 blacks and 5 white people, and the afghani's only racially attack the black people, this is not racism?

Someone throw me a bone here, because I'm pretty sure that is racism.

The dictionary definition came first. I can't just go around saying I don't like the way the dictionary puts it so it's wrong.

I'll try to cite and post as many of these as I can find, so that people can at least realize that it is not universally accepted that Prejudice=Racism and through the reading of other opinions they can form a better opinion for themselves, as it is hard to form a solid opinion when only one side of the story is being represented.

Another, like I said, I am not just trying to barrade you guys with articles to prove that I am right, just showing you that there are other sides to the story.

When you mentioned that you saw nothing that mentioned racism as RACE, I thought you were refering to the definition I posted immediatly before that. If you were in fact refering to the entire article that I linked, then I am lost as to how you saw it downplay the issue of race...
