Racism starts once one starts creating categories of race.(origins, genetic lineage.) Racism is amplified when one starts marking groups with genetically transmitted physical characteristics, for better or worse. --any trait that put one race as superior to another.

Malcom X was a racist separatist.
Oprah is a racist ageist.
"Black history month" is a racist event, so is "i'm Irish day" (St Patric's)
...pretty much anyone can be allowed to be a racist of varying degree these day. tho' if you are of euro-lineage and lacking obvious genetically transmitted physical characteristics of an identifiable race, well expect to hear [scream]Racist[/scream] should you dare to note any differences. --Some people are just Waiting to be offended by you.
