Categorism is "prejudice, bigotry and discrimination at any level, based on a categorization of people".
While the phenomenon here called "categorism" is more commonly known as "racism" (in a very wide sense of the word racism), it may be not only a more common definition of racism but also preferable in itself to make the following distinction between racism and categorism: Use the term "categorism" for the general phenomenon which is regardless of what category of people is being targeted or what categorization of people is being focused on, and use the word "racism" when the categorization is one such as skin-color or ethnicity.
