Could you explain the difference between people who are biased with
respect to other people's ethnicity -- and racists?
All I know is what I read in wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_%28classification_of_humans%29
*"Race* is classification of humans <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human>
into large and distinct populations
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population> or groups
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_%28sociology%29> by factors such as
heritable phenotypic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenotype>
characteristics or geographic ancestry, but also often influenced by and
correlated with traits such as appearance, culture
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture>, ethnicity
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnicity>, and socio-economic status
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socioeconomic_status>. ... Accordingly,
the racial paradigms <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradigm> employed by
different kinds of biological or social scientists may vary in their
emphasis on biological reduction
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_reductionism> as contrasted
with societal construction
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_constructivism>...."
So I guess I can be allowed my own incomplete, ambiguous, contradictory
and/or muddled views :-)
But maybe the discussion of what is and is not a woman would be more
appropriate here :-)
