Categorism is "[[prejudice]], [[bigotry]] and [[discrimination]], based on a [[categorization]] of human beings".

This statement has two halves, yet it signifies that categorism has three aspects: The [[facets]], the [[foci]] and the [[abstractions]].

The first half of the statement equals the first of the three aspects: "prejudice, bigotry and discrimination" are the three [[archtype facets of categorism]], with all other facets being functions of these three.

The second half of the statement equals the second and third of the three aspects. This is because "based on a categorization of human beings" has two very different meanings.
* One is that categorism is based on ''specific'' categorizations of human beings. These are the [[foci of categorism]]: Categorism is called racism when it is based on a categorization into races, called sexism when it is based on a categorization into genders, and so on.
* The other is that categorism is based on a categorization ''as such''. When a categorization of human beings becomes problematic ''in itself'', it becomes an [[abstraction of categorism]].
