Hey hey, think for a minute, don't be so quick to blanket ideas as bad.

One common example; you own a restaurant and you hire staff that are from the nationality of the food type for authenticity, Italian, chinese, whatever. Would you consider that unreasonable?

Something more obscure; you are training young sprinters and you want to get a champion. You choose to train negro people because they have fast twitch muscle type and have a proven track record. That seems reasonably justified.

I'm sure we can all dream up a multitude of examples. You can't just blanket all racism as bad. If you try to apply that idea always it won't work, you need to understand it a bit more if you really want to deal with it.

Also I'm not nasty, just interested and perhaps more free thinking and willing to entertain ideas. By the way I am keen for people to try to change my mind if they wish. I do consider other people's ideas and I know that my perspective of the world, right and wrong etc is subjective and so others need not necessarily agree. In a way that is part of what this discussion is about.
