Right - but you appreciate the difference between someone
a) disliking all races different from one's own
b) using one's life experience to form opinions about people and grouping them by - age / race / occupation / ethnicity / etc.
I think that using same word is wrong - as they are completely different phenomena.
I dont think its really that different of a phenomenon. Item a) is a lot extrapolating item b) to everyone who doesn't share your race. Also, its completely possible to be racist against members of your own race, which still qualifies as racist behavior.
Basically, the general definition of racism is more about prejudice against one or more races, rather than about uplifting one specific race above everything else.
