a lot of people dont know what it is.
for me it is when you deny someone their civil and human rights,
any thing else is just being insensitive.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

racism is a vague ambiguous term, as is racist. their are many definitions and forms of racism/racists.
but you have your own definition and i would agree with you that to deny someone their civil and human rights ((BASED THEIR RACE)) is infact a form of racism.

what about this?
minorities in a society can not be racist, because they do not have the ability to suppress or deny civil/human rights.

well if a minority targets a business owned by whiteman and burns it down. by targeting it just because of the man ethnicity then it is surely racist.

depends on your definition. could just be a hate crime....unless the minority believes that the different traits in racial groups justify discrimination.
rarely the case, typically it's an aggressive act due to other societal issues.

i do not see that as racist but it can be offensive depending on the context and if someone means it to be hurtful it could be seen by some as racist.
all the things people talk about is discrimination. racist discrimination is the idea that someone should be discriminated against based on their racial background and yes a minority can discriminate they have that power even if they are poor.
if you attack someone and harm them, physical attack, verbal, deny them a job based on their skin color, minorities have this ability black, white, asian, in any place in any country.
