Talk:List of types of racism

White Flight?
I don’t understand how this can be called "racist". I used to live in Sweden’s third city Malmö. I moved out because I have children, and the mugging of especially Swedish children have exploded. Today 80 per cent of all Swedish children 12-18 have been robbed at least one time. When I was young, this problem was never heard of. Should I jeopardize my children’s future in order to not be called racist?

Many people who are not white also move out. It has noting to do with color of skin, but what future u wants for your family. If there is a racist component, its racism against white people. That this is a form of racism must surely be a propagandistic and very leftist view. In Sweden this kind of allegations comes manly from anarchists and the extreme left, witch we have a lot of problems with. This must be regarded as a minority and bias view – and not be labeled as racism on wikipedia.SweHomer 17:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

"White Flight" refers to a phenomenon where people's decisions are based on other people's race. If you read the "White Flight"-article I'm sure you'll see that there is definitely a racist element behind the phenomenon. I'm not saying that this definitely makes you a racist, and even so it would seem that you moved from Malmö on account of it was dangerous to live there, rather than out of dislike towards those who belong to a different race than yourself. --TheFinalFraek 16:36, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, i did read the article. Malmö have today around 50% immigrants. 30 000 have leaved the town, most Swedes but also people from many different nationalities. I know a lot about this and it has nothing do to with racism – and I have a hard time to believe the US would be that much different.

That this flight does exist I don’t question. And I am sure some calls this racism. But I don’t believe this is the majority view.

I found this on the net. Written by Allen Johnson who is black. http://blog.news-record.com/staff/outloud/archives/2006/02/whos_a_racist.html

''“I also think that it is too easy to say that housing patterns are race based. It might be for a group of bigots who don't want to live near other races, but I think most people make decisions based on schools, crime rates, and quality of life. "White flight" does exist, but I think it is fleeing from crime, not blacks. I think that most black people also seek to move away from crime if possible- call it middle and upper class black flight. You never hear the stories about the lower class white neighborhoods that are crime ridden even though they exist. White people in those neighborhoods who can afford to leave do leave. They are leaving the crime, not the race. I also think that if you looked at the crime rates for neighborhoods that people are "fleeing" from, you will see that the crime rate has gone up. I think this would justify anyone moving somewhere else.”''

Logic and experience tells me that this is not racism. Experience also tells me that behind this term are a political agenda. A propagandistic agenda. If you write that this is by some (and specify some) regarded as racism – then its NPOV. But to take a minority view only because you believe in it yourself and try to make it a proven fact is surely not NPOV.SweHomer 21:28, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Judaism is no race either, and sectarianism is a racism too. Raphael1 12:42, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * SweHomer is perfectly correct. Calling it racism is sooner an example of original research. Netscott 18:13, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Even the Forum Against Islamophobia and Racism (F.A.I.R) makes the distinction. Netscott 19:00, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Huh? They say: "Islamophobia has now become a recognised form of racism." Raphael1 19:41, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I stand corrected... I've edited the article for NPOV though. Netscott 19:51, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * On further review I've removed islamophobia from this article after reading Avoid neologisms guidelines and understanding that the term "islamophobia" is indeed still being defined as the following definition which does not include racism illustrates:
 * From The 2003 edition of the New Oxford Dictionary of English: Islamophobia > noun [mass noun] a hatred or fear of Islam or Muslims, especially as a political force. Netscott 08:27, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

definition of reverse racism
''the belief in measures designed to correct alleged racism, such as affirmative action. Critics would point out that if racism is inherently evil, then there can be no good racism.''

This definition is not NPOV. I don't think supporters of affirmative action would describe it as racist. It is critics who make this charge. Proponents would argue that support for AA is not based on the belief that white people are an inferior race which would they deem a neccesary element for it to be racist. --Cab88 11:34, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
