Rassismus[1] sive phyletismus[2] est genus odii quod nonnulli habent adversus alios tantummodo propter differentias coloriscutis, capillorum, oculorum iridis, formaeque corporis, quae differentiae rassalis vocantur.
Rassismus nonnunquam e morbo mentis aut condicione neurotica nascitur, quae possunt rassistas ad facinora criminalia[3] aut perniciosa ducere. Maior tamen pars rassistarum[4] solum verbis ac contumeliis adversus alienigenas utuntur.
Primo sensu rassismus est opinio secundum quam indoles, characteres qualitatesque hominum immutabiliter ex genere seu rassa oriuntur.[5]
In rassismo institutionali, iura beneficiaque quibusdam denegantur aliisque privilegia conceduntur solum propter genus. Hae distinctiones plerumque non solum e differentiis corporum sed etiam culturae nascuntur.
Ideologia rassistica saeculo undevicesimo saepe falsis rationibus scientificis fulciebatur, quibus classificatio hominum falso demonstrabatur (Taguieff 1987). Quamquam tales ideologiae post secundum bellum mundanum et Soa valde imminutae sunt, rassismus et discriminationes propter hominum origines factae omnibus in terris pergunt.[7]

"Some examples of this in present day are statistics including, but not limited to, the ratio of black men in prison to free black men vs. other races, physical abilities and mental ability statistics, and other data gathered by scientific groups. While these statistics are accurate, and can show trends, it's inappropriate in most countries to assume that because a particular race has a high crime or low literacy rate, that the entire race of people automatically are criminals or unintelligent."
