what is the definition of symbolic racism?
147949
The theory of symbolic racism proposes that, in response to public abhorrence of overt racism, prejudice has gone underground, finding its expression in more subtle forms. According to the symbolic racism model, bigots of the current era will cloak their racist sentiments under the guise of statements or actions supposedly in defence of noble and important values.

There is one thing I believe. Whether you look down your nose at a different race or you over-act, they are both forms of racism. A person is not a racist when he/she acts totally normal around all sorts of people. If you force yourself to be down, you are bordering on racism because you might make people feel uncomfortable and that's what racism is.

Nothing.\n\nIt's simply a formal issue where governments should officially admit racism existed, still exists and will always exist, instead of claiming their respective nations are racism free. \nAnd..to those who think the problem affects only the US, well you probably haven't been to Europe of late. LOL

There is no such thing as "reverse racism." Racism is simply racism, no matter which ethnic group is being treated unfairly. Similarly:\n\nThere is no such thing as "reverse bigotry." \nThere is no such thing as "reverse sexism."

Racism is prejudice stemming from race, while prejudice can be anything from hatred because of sex, sexual orientation, religion, culture or nationality.  The list goes on.  It's best to think of racism as more of a division of prejudice.

As long as people exist, there will be racism. People tend to dislike anyone that is different from them. So, whether through ignorance, cruelty or whatever, as long as there are different races there will be racism. I think it is  just human nature to shun something or someone we don't understand. Hopefully, one day we will get past it but I don't think so.

Racism is drawing negative conclusions about another person's traits, ethics, worth, ability, etc based solely upon that person's racial origin. And then acting upon those assumptions. \n  I think we all have "stereotypes" or "preconceptions" to 1 degree or another. Whether we like to admit it or not. A racist is usually aware of, and willing to act on these preconceptions.

No. Racism would be if you hate anyone from a particular race of people or if you hate all races except for your own. Racism is based on race-based-hate not on hate in and of itself.

Racism refers to "race", that is skin color and the configuration of human face. Disliking someone because of their nation is nationalism.

I think racism is classified as any derogatory remark towards a person because of skin color, nationality, or ethnic background. If you discriminate against a person because of their background or make harsh remarks regarding their ethnic background, it is racist.
