 ==colorism==
-Racism based on skin-color. May target specific colors or entire color spectrums. When targeting more than one spectrum, it's typically about having separate sets of prejudices for those who have darker skin (than the person or social community which holds the prejudice) and for those who have lighter.
+Racism based on skin-color. May target specific colors or entire color spectrums. When targeting more than one spectrum, it's typically about having separate sets of prejudices for those who have darker skin (than the person or social community which holds the prejudice) and for those who have lighter. Note that colorism is not always or nessecarily rooted in any idea of "race": Prejudices based on skin tone often exist within the same ethnic group, due to history of how people of lower socio-economic standing used to work out in the fields (thus getting more tan skin) while people of higher socio-economic standing used to work indoors (thus getting less tan skin).

 ==race-biologism==
 Racism based on pseudoscience notions of “biological races”. [[Racism grew from religism]], blooming into a complete pseudoscience which was very popular in the first half of the twentieth century. This set of ideas includes ideas of the Jewish minority being a distinct biological race, which is why [[antisemitism]] can be seen as a form of racism as well as a form of [[religism]].

-Racism expressed through [[expressions of categorism]] such as...
-* ''[[Hate-crimes]]'': A white supremacist group spreading hateful propaganda against people of color, escalating to incite violence.
-* ''[[Stigmatization]]'':  Associating dark skin with all kinds of negative traits.
 ==Examples of expressions==
 * ''[[Category original sin]]'': Arguing that Africans (and perhaps also other dark-skinned people) are somehow the descendants of Noah's son Ham... and thus God has commanded that all Africans should be held in slavery forever as punishment for Ham once having seen his father Noah drunk and naked.
 * ''[[Alleged Incompetence#Mysterious Alleged Incompetence | Mysterious Alleged Incompetence]]'': A new engineer is hired at a company where almost all engineers are white. When the new engineer turns out to be black, some of the coworkers have to actively hide their annoyance. Soon they start criticizing his job performance, even when there is nothing to criticize. Rather than making up specific things, they leave it vague. He has done bad things, everybody knows that. What kind of bad things? Well, many kinds! What kinds of bad things, then? Well, bad ones!
 * ''[[Privateermongering]]'': Constructing discrimination, bullying and outright attacks people of color (or specifically against the [[Misandry|men]]) as if it was a valid “preemptive self-defense” based on some [[monolithization|idea about said category]] being [[demonization|violent or otherwise evil]].
