"Racism is usually defined as views, practices and actions reflecting the belief that humanity is divided into distinct biological groups called races and that members of a certain race share certain attributes which make that group as a whole less desirable, more desirable, inferior, or superior."
Well, yeah, it's a simple fact, I agree with what this definition says. The difference is just that this definition says it's a BELIEF, but I know that it's a FACT. And I agree, that "members of a certain race share certain attributes which make that group as a whole less desirable, more desirable, inferior, or superior". So I guess I'm a racist, right? And is it morally OK to admit it openly everywhere and in front of everyone?
If you agree with the propositions set forth in the Wikipedia entry it is accurate for you to call yourself, and for other people to call you a racist.
Why can't I be proud of it if statement "members of a certain race share certain attributes which make that group as a whole less desirable, more desirable, inferior, or superior" is correct?
Because it's objectively false.
Because it is the root of much of the suffering humans have encountered through the centuries.
Because it continues to cause evil results around the world.

Go ahead be whatever u want, be as racist as u want, it's your choice. Tell whoever u want, be as proud of it as u want to be, there's no law against being racist.
But when u label an individual based on their skin color, you're also labeling yourself as ignorant, narrow minded, and more than likely look at yourself more highly than u ought, and probably more than anyone else ever would.
