raciasm.

not sure what you mean by imaginary friends. i think they're something small children have but i'm not sure. the other part of your argument is not proved by what goes on everday. you honestly believe that when football fans for eg. chant racist abuse at players or when stephen lawrence, anthony walker and the young white lad in scotland ( i don't remember his name) were killed in racially motivated attacks the killers were actually thinking "i don't like these young men's culture"

What I meant was that there are a lot of things that are called "racism" that really have nothing to do with skin color at all.

As for sports taunts, people chant what works, whether it be jabs at skin color or physical appearance or being cuckolded by their wives.

i do agree that a lot of things that arn't racist are falsely labeled. when someone say's they don't like americans or muslims people say thats racist when it obviously isn't as neither are a race.

Oh - and why is it not (almost never) racism when whites are victims of crime by non-whites?

Yeah... why is being anti-Jewish or anti-Muslim racist while being anti-Christian or anti-Buddhist or anti-Hindu is not?

eats bacon chips and drinks beer while waiting for the answer

it is racist when whites are the victims. the asians in scotland were convicted of the racist murder of the white lad. i think i'm correct in saying that the first person to be charged under the race act back in the 60s or 70s was michael x for suggesting that black nurses should kill white patients. at least one muslim cleric has been charged under the race act for saying that non believers should be murdered although non muslims are not a race anymore than muslims are. a lot of it makes no sence i agree. racism is treating people differently because of their race whereas disliking someones religious beliefs is not. the clue is in the word.

I believe that you are mistaking 'Racism' for 'Colour prejudice' Surely racism isn't just about targetting people of a different colour ? It's having a fear/hatred of any different nationality ! Colour prejudice is a hatred of people of a different colour (obvious I know but needed to be said) not mattering from what racial background they now come from !

Is it any worse in the eyes of a British racist, if the person he targets is Indian, Black or Eastern European ? If yes then he is not racist but merely a bigotted coloured prejudiced bufoon !
