A racist is someone who judges a person based on the trends of the person’s race.

Ex. “Blacks commit more crime, you’re black, therefore you are a criminal.”

Sexism is the same thing; judging one man based on the general trends of all men as a whole and judging one woman based on the general trends of all women as a whole.

Conclusion: Judging any individual based on the general trends of the individual’s group is always stupid. There are always outliers to trends. You cannot know a person based on trends; you can only judge a person based on the person themselves. You can make guesses based on trends, but that’s it.

Racism and sexism are simply some of the more common forms of judging-based-on-group-trends.

Racism and sexism are not evil positions; they’re ignorant positions.

Yes, to judge an individual based on nothing other then the trends of their group is foolish; however, it is not foolish to make decisions based off the known trends. For example, don't move closer to densly populated black communities because you know the crime rates are higher in those areas because blacks commit more violent crime.

Problem is, people would call you a racist for even doing that.
