    and neither of those words is a racial slur.


    Something other than what SassyAssassin claimed it means.
    It does not mean you hate someone. or fear them.
    It does mean you treat them differently because of what race they are.
    E.g.: Hiring based on racial quotas is racist.
    So what's the difference between a slur and calling someone a stupid foreigner? They both have negative connotations based on ethnicity; calling a Hispanic a "stupid foreigner" while they're in, say, the American Midwest is pretty much an indicator of what they think about said race. Saying "stupid Chinese/African/Japanese/Spaniard/whatever" would be just as bad lol. Saying a slur is just rawdogging it at that point.

    Uhh, hatred of a race is deeply rooted in racism. You can go check out how the black basketball team in China are treated. Asian Americans/African Americans have had really had racism incidents towards each other for years. Hate is what leads to different treatment, btw. It's not like hatred and racism are mutually exclusive concepts.
    "I hate Indians because their food stinks" is quite literally a racist belief. Or you can go into the deep end of post-9/11 America: "I hate all Indians because they're are all terrorists." ect..
