So Poi-e employing Moari's as domestic workers mean you are a racist?
The word “racism” appeared in the Larousse dictionary for the first time in 1932. A careful examination of dictionaries since then reveals that the definitions of the term overlap:
“A system which affirms the superiority of one racial group over the others” (Larousse);
“A doctrine claiming the existence of biological differences between various races and the superiority of one of them” (supplement to the Grand Littré);
“A theory of the hierarchy of races based on a belief that social conditions depend on racial characteristics” (Robert);
“A theory of racial hierarchy which claims the necessity of preserving the so-called superior race from miscegenation and the right to dominate other races” (Petit Robert), etc.
UNESCO’s 1978 “Declaration on Race” defines racism as “any theory claiming the intrinsic superiority or inferiority of racial or ethnic groups which would give to some the right to dominate or even eliminate others, presumed inferior, or basing value judgments on racial differences.”
Ruth Benedict writes:
“Racism is a dogma according to which one ethnic group is condemned by nature to congenital superiority.”
More recently, Arthur Kriegel has written:
“Racism is an ideological-scientific system which divides the contemporary human species into sub-species, resulting from separate development and endowed with unequal average aptitudes. Miscegenation with these inferior sub-species could only result in half-breeds inferior to the favored race.”
None of these definitions deals with behavior. Rather, they all focus on theory — a “system,” a “doctrine,” a“dogma.”
For the most part, these definitions echo five main components as constituent elements of racist ideology:
1) A belief in the superiority of one race, and more rarely of several races, over others. This belief is usually accompanied by a hierarchical classification of racial groups;
2) The idea that this superiority and inferiority are of a biological or bio-anthropological nature. The conclusion drawn from this belief is that superiority and inferiority are ineradicable and could not, for example, be modified by social milieu or education;
3) the idea that collective biological inequalities are reflected in social and cultural orders, and that biological superiority translates into a “superior civilization,” which itself indicates biological superiority.;
4) A belief in the legitimacy of the domination of “inferior” races by “superior” ones;
5) A belief that there are “pure” races and that miscegenation has an inevitably negative effect on them (“decline,” “degeneration,” etc.).
So tell me please. When then English arrived there in New Zealand ages ago. Did they find a culutre that was already reading books speaking different languages? Or were they premitive?
So Inferior yes but not because of being hated because they were far less advance and had to be taught how to fit in with society.
Are the US army superior to the Afghanistan army? Yes they are. RACIST!
Nope
What did those blokes 100 years ago knew aboout biology? Or what do the average go knows about genetics?
Almost fuck all
Lets take rugby. Now lets take a poor african person who have been living in poverty and thus his nutrition would be poor which means he would not grow as lets say someone in another culture who's nutrition and his genes made him to grow stronger and bigger thus would enable him to get higher up in levels of rugby than the mentioned African.
Is it racist to see him inferior in rugby cause the avg length in Africa is 1.66m compared to the Europeans whoa verage a full 12 cm taller and rising?
Racism?
Not a chance.
You can not take something that was done lets say 60 years ago apply it todays standard and brand a entire culture as racist of applying the stereotype. Because back then the education levels and things like owning property were not known to them. Common laws statuary laws and courts as well.
So in the aspect of development they were far inferior.
Cmon charging a canon with spears must pop a little bell in your head thinking WTF were they thinking?
Not that they were stupid they just were not develop enough and never knew what a canon was.
Racist wants to exterminate. They want that race gone. By killing them off. We are talking about genocide and others.
Feeding them and trying to develop them is not racist.
