If you can't read and understand what you yourself cut and paste, then perhaps it's you that shouldn't open your "fucking" mouth.There is no reason for Ignorance online anymore, I just dont get it. I have googled the definition of racism for all of you and it seems that brick top is the only one who got it right. If you all dont have a clue what the definition of somthing is, then dont open your fucking mouth about opinions because thats what more than half of you have done here. he simply said that he didnt care for mexicans. I dont see any racism in that phrase.

Saying I don't like Mexicans certainly fits:
Definition 4. All Mexicans must be the same and I don't like them because of that.
Definition 5. Certainly "I don't like Mexicans" is racial intolerance
Definition 3. "I don't like Mexicans" means they ALL have a trait or characteristic that is less than desirable in the speaker's eyes. If every Mexican had a desireable trait that floated your boat, you wouldn't hate them, would you? Since they have a lesser trait, one must assume that fits the definition of some perceived inferiority.
And yes...as you can see the race of the racist does not enter into any of these definitions. If your racism is limited to white people, it makes no difference that you are a member of the group.
Saying you don't like the Mexican soccer team because they have poor defense, lack scoring power, or play dirty is fine. Saying you don't like them because they are Mexican is not. Whether you use a racial epithet to describe the race or not, does not change the fact it's racism.
By the way, I just placed another Attitude order. The freebies are fantastic today.
