Definition of Racism: a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various races determine cultural or individual achievment, usually involving the idea that ones own race is superior and has the right to rule over others.

Now, does what she says exactly fit the mold of racism as per the definition above (Which you are more than welcome to look up online)?? No. It does not.


Where? Wikipedia? Amazing. There are many forms of racism kid, not just the superiority complex.

Many forms of racism? Excuse me? You just showed your true colors there. You might as well say there are many answers to the problem 2+2. No, there is only one kind of racism and that is the racism that I gave the definition for above.

And no I didnt look it up on Wikipedia for your information as that site has a tendency to be innacurate quite often. I got the definition from a 1984 Webster's Dictionary which I happen to own.

Like I said.... amazing. Just because that dictionary has only one definition... that makes it the only one. Amazing.

EDIT: Supremacism is the belief to be superior to another.

There, discussion over, throw your webster at me all you want. Im leaving before Godwyn's law happens.

Very well then, what other forms of racism are there? List them that I may learn from your wisdom (which you obviously have in infinite supply).

Supremacism, huh? This is also the belief that you are superior to another, and while it has a different title, has the exact same definition as just plain'ol racism. Your argument grows weak as (once again) Ashley said that she did not believe that we were superior to the Council or non-Council races.

Bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination are often seen as different forms of racism, but can also stand on thier own without being associated with racism. So...yeah there are many ways to interperate racism.

By the way let's try not to hate, just passionatly debate.
Just because someone dosen't like fictional alien races dosen't mean they are racist.
Image IPB They're alienist.

From my point of view Tali IS more racist than Ashley, as she DOES think the geth are inferior to the quarians. However, this is from complete lack of experience dealing with geth, just like Ashley's own suspicion is based on lack of experience with aliens.

Neither was yours earlier. I asked you to put forward your list of the different kinds of racism and you have not, which  leaves me only with the conclusion that you can not backup your statement that there are many different kinds of racism and said statement is thus false.

No bigotry, prejiduce and discrimination are what rcaism is comprised of and not 'different kinds' of racism. Besides, all three of those mean prctically the same thing, proving my point once again.

And of course, you are correct. Both Tali and Ashley's distrust of aliens/the geth stem from inexperience with them, not because they hold themselves above them (Though Tali, going from this, does kind of hold herself above the Geth).

Or I just don't care about this discussion that much because I won't die if I don't respond.... like you apperantly would. Where do you think I got Supremacism from? A list, duh.

Technically, the creator is always superior.

God made us, so he KNOWS and IS superior to us.

I might not have worded this the way I intended,  so forgive me if I didn't state this clearer.

What i men was YES, those are elements of 'racism', but thay can also stand alone for things other than race, such as: sex, sexual orientation, social status, size, age, etc.

True, but if they do apply to anything other than being prejiduced, bigoted, or discriminatory against another race, then it is no longer racism and does not apply.

All of the 'types' of racism shown in this list all share the belief that a particular race or group is held above another, once again showing that ultimately there is only one type of racism, call it what you will.

Anti-Semitism, Black Supremacy, White Supremacy.. they are all the same and Ashley does nto fit into any of them. Granted we're talking about extra-terrestrials and not our own race but the basic rules still apply.
