Here's a proper sociological definition of "racism" for you. There is no such thing as what you are trying to promote.
Quote:
Racism refers to a host of practices, beliefs, social relations and phenomena that work to reproduce a racial hierarchy and social structure that yields superiority and privilege for some, and discrimination and oppression for others. Racism takes representational, ideological, discursive, interactional, institutional, structural, and systemic forms.
Despite its form, at its core, racism is constituted by essentialist racial categories that turn human subjects into stereotyped objects, and then uses those stereotypes to justify and reproduce a racial hierarchy and racially structured society that limits access to resources, rights, and privileges on the basis of race.

Nonetheless, if there is ever any prejudicial comment directed at our non-minority members I'm sure that the mods would deal with it accordingly.
Who cares if someone is being corny? At least for me, it's more fun being corny around here rather than trying so hard to win some e-cool points.
