Ditto. I am about to offically be a sociologist and and a political scientist so I suppose this is kind of my thing.

Also..the difference between the person calling someone a racist and the person that is a racist is the following:

A racist groups and judges people based totally on their race, religion, apprearance, etc. They don't actually know anything about the individual. They don't even give them a chance to view their opinions.

A person who is calling someone a racist should be (which doesn't always mean they are doing so) judging what someone has actually said and done. It is based on the actual actions and beliefs of the individual.

See the main difference is that one is seen as an individual and the other is seeing others as groups.

Americans are a nation that so highly values the individual and that should be kept in mind.
