So here's the poll.
You have Person A and Person B.
They both hate the other one, because the other person is a different race.
Are they racist?
Poll options are.. in the poll.
You can be prejudiced against white people, but not racist, since racism means prejudice PLUS POWER/ PRIVILEGE, which only white people have.

Yes, obviously.
I'll vote once the poll is up.

Simple Definition of racism
: poor treatment of or violence against people because of their race
: the belief that some races of people are better than others
I don't agree with Ganapathy. I think that definition has been expanded.
I think they are both racists.

I would say that Micah Johnson possessed plenty of power - he caused 5 deaths and selected his victims based on their race. Power need not be officially given or sanctioned to be an active racist. Anyone, especially if armed, has the power to act on their racial prejudice.
What about South Africa?

Where white people denied blacks the right to vote for 50 years?
Micah Johnson had ZERO institutional power. The cops had that.

EDIT...thought I'd pick this up...from Merriam Webster...

Racism is not limited to institutional racism.
I hate to nit pick but in my view people place a much broader definition on racism than the official definition.
In this case why would they be racists according to the strict definition?
Just because someone hates someone due to their race does not mean they treat them any differently nor believe they are better or worse, just different.
Also agree with this.
One thing that I would add, on my position anyway, is that whilst it is obviously possible for an individual (or group) of any color to be racist, that does not mean that such racism has been institutionalized. I firmly believe that institutionalized racism is still entrenched within society and flows almost exclusively in one direction (that is, towards black people and certain other minorities).
Both are racist scumbags.
What's the point of this question?
Oh my God, not this "Racism = Prejudice + Power" bull****.
You can't change the definition of racism because you want to.
