Hi,
Well, here are some my thoughts:
I am a non-White male yet find myself to have a very unique ideological outlook within the non-White community with respect to racism. First, I don’t consider the word “racist” an objective word because everyone has a different subjective definition of it which are not even consistant but change depending on the mood and scenario of the definer.
Second, whenever someone presents a “racist” comment, no one ever uses the rules of logic to respond to them. For example, if person x says something person y considers “racist,” peron y never says “well, let me look at your claims and then make an objective/rational criticism of it.” Rather, they just put forth the emotional outburst “You damn racist!!” and assume that this statement automatically debunks the comments of person “x.” So, I believe whenever anyone of any political persuation put forths their ideas, the proper response should be a rational/objective rebuttal or admitance of agreement, not insults/name-calling.
Another point: I’ve noticed many double standards in the field of racism: When one group does something, it’s called racism, but when another group does it, its considered okey. Consider the movie “White Men Can’t Jump.” What if there was a movie called “Black Men Can’t Do Math”? Numerous double standards exist.
Okey, the above is my opinion, now an opinion of a Professional writer:

What is Racism?
Everyone talks about “racism” but no one ever defines it.

There is surely no nation in the world that holds “racism” in greater horror than does the United States. Compared to other kinds of offenses, it is thought to be somehow more reprehensible. The press and public have become so used to tales of murder, rape, robbery, and arson, that any but the most spectacular crimes are shrugged off as part of the inevitable texture of American life. “Racism” is never shrugged off.
For example, when a white Georgetown Law School student reports that black students are less well qualified than white students, it sets off a booming, national controversy about “racism.” If the student had merely murdered someone he would have attracted far less attention and criticism.
