You become a racist when you haven't learned enough Russian and don't know how to spell the word “race”.
Racism, on the other hand, is a delusion consisting in attributing to race a meaning that it does not possess, in mixing a descriptive norm and a prescriptive one, as well as a social structure created on the basis of this delusion.
What is a descriptive norm? So we took a lot of blacks, measured their height, averaged the value, and got the result. This result is a descriptive, statistical norm for blacks.
Let's say the result is high, while white's score is low – does this mean that you don't need to take whites to basketball teams, but you need to take blacks? No, because basketball needs tall guys, not black guys. If black is high, we take it, if white is high, we take it, but to knowingly assume that black is higher than white is to confuse the descriptive norm with the prescriptive one. A single black color may be higher or lower than white, and we cannot infer its height based on skin color (although it is more likely to be higher than lower, we can only know the exact result by looking at it with our eyes). This is prejudice – you judge a person without looking, you don't give him a chance to refute your a priori judgment. When these prejudices form the basis of racial discrimination, this is racism.
When you realize that most of the representatives are not of your nationality, they behave inappropriately knowing that they are visiting. When there is a majority of such people, it is no longer appropriate to analyze who is good and who is bad, because their representatives behave inappropriately, the majority of them, then the losses of the “good” ones will be minimal. Therefore, you can define some kind of commonality or nat. a minority to the bad ones, and you can't really go wrong
You become a racist when you come to get a job “And the Mexican” boss takes “a less qualified relative instead of you.
When you try to enter a university in Russia, where a huge number of quota places are given to visitors from the Caucasus and China.
When you go to the streets of your native German / French or any other European country of the city and see crowds of Gypsies spreading typhus and consumption, offering your child to try hashish or nasvay.

No one becomes a racist simply because a person has differences in the structure of the body/features of the face and language.
One can only guess what the first black and white person who met for the first time thought. Although it is quite likely that at that time they were physically unable to do this, since they did not yet possess verbal speech.
Racism grows out of historical events and patterns. Since it is easier for people to group with their own kind, the fate of many representatives of the same race is becoming more and more dependent on belonging to it.
