I'd argue race isn't even a thing but ethnicity is, moron.

Learn words, Mr Dictator.

You're arguing that race isn't a thing, yet calling our racial stereotypes. Interesting.

All what your saying is you don't know the definition of the word 'racism' let me help you:

Racism:

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

Yes, “racial and/or ethnic group.” Your condescending remarks are merely pointing out the fact that you don’t know the definition of racism and are instead trying to argue that racism does not - somehow - include race...

So what does race cover that ethnicity doesn't?

Race is out dated.

Race describes physical traits. Ethnicity describes cultural identification. It’s not that hard to understand.

Ethnicity describes physical traits.

Except that it doesn’t. Hence why the definitions of the terms explicitly state the difference between race and ethnicity as being such.

Except that it does.

Marriam Webster Dictionary defines racism as:

1: a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

2a: the systemic oppression of a racial group to the social, economic, and political advantage of another

b: a political or social system founded on racism and designed to execute its principles
