Racism

Racism, in general, is a prejudice against all members of one race.

Superiority

Racism is almost always accompanied with a feeling that the racist's race is superior to the race in which there is a prejudice. This often takes the form of emotional arguments or rationalizations that are either inadequate to consider one race superior to another or just a repeated meme that has little or no scientific evidence to back it up. These beliefs commonly suggest that one race is biologically and intellectually superior to the other, however, cultural values are sometimes used to compare the race.

Flaws

Racism is Pointless

Racism has no real purpose. The average white trash sitting in front of a television drinking his beer achieves nothing by believing that his race is superior to another. At best, the average racist manages to feel a little bit better about his own pathetic situation in life by blaming someone else.

Superior to What?

Whether or not a race is superior to another is certainly up for debate, however, the current writer can't think of any studies that have been done which have been done for the purpose of showing that one race is superior to another. While various differences certainly exist, the superiority of a race can only be valid in terms of survival. However, no one is able to tell if a race is more fit to survive than another race until they have been naturally selected to survive over another race. All other value judgments of a race are pointless.
