IMO real racism is where people from obscure religions preach hatred of the general public to the masses. Anything else (whilst not justified) is just a reaction to whatever may come of those actions and provocations.
No one will ever accept everyone. There will always be fundamentalist activists out there who will create racial terrorism. All racism really is, is fear. Or feeling threatened by another way of life. It's natural instinct in a way.
However in todays' society, it's not really acceptable. We should rise above it.
But I'm just talking about actions, unless you're an emo, words shouldn't hurt you. Guess some people are just fragile.
If someone called me Anti - haggis (a mainly British food) I'd just... Well... Laugh. Hard.
