What are the three types of racism?

Answer 1

There are only two types (overt and covert), but there are different motivations and levels of application.

Overt racists are your basic skinhead, Stormfront types. There is no real logic to their hate, so debating them is useless. They don't try to hide their opinions and they tend to be fanatical. They apply their racism heavily, almost to the point of being obsessed. Examples: KKK, Aryan Nation.

Covert racists are your "hidden haters" who tend to act based on stereotypes and misconceptions. These racists don't consider themselves to be destructive with their beliefs, and thus feel comfortable with their biases. If you point out their racism to them, they usually admit to it, but they don't abandon their convictions. They do not apply their racism heavily, per se, but again, they are steadfast with their convictions. Examples: The landlord who won't rent to *fill in the race*. The parents who disapprove their daughter's interracial love interest.

Motivations are where things get complicated.

You have some people who are motivated by how they were raised (racists parents), some by what they've experienced (abused in school by *fill in the race*), some by not being around certain groups enough (raised around this race, but not that race), some by fear of crime (mugged by *fill in the race*), some by being influenced by white superiority or a desire to adhere to the white mainstream ("white is right" mindset). The aforementioned tend to apply their racism heavily and consistently.

Many people are racially critical, but not racist, yet they are confused for being racist. They rightfully point out negative aspects of a given racial demographic, but they don't harbor any fixed mindset against a given group.

You have people whom are selective racist, where as they target only one race specifically. Others are bandwagon racists who just go along with racist ideologies just to belong to a group. These groups tend to apply their racism passively.

Some people are racial antagonizers who attain satisfaction from negative feedback to their racist quips (blog racists and flamers).

Some people are religious or "natural way" racists who subscribe to ideologies based on their belief that mother nature, or their perception of God, supports their contentions.

A good number of people are situational racists/bigots. These people tend to react with racism as a bi-product of some actual or perceived wrong done onto them. Their racism tends to only come out when they are angered.

Bottom line, racism is prevalent, and we all indulge in it from time to time. It all comes down to how you choose to apply it.
