I would like to propose a new term to replace "Racism". "Groupism" calls out the same, twisted logic that assigns an irrelevant attribute to the entire group. Racism is a subset of Groupism. We're seeing groupism applied to Dems, R's, Libs, Conservatives, Catholics, Protestants, Californians and Politicians. If the group is defined by the attribute - such as Blondes have blonde hair - that is not groupism. Racism is Groupism applied to a race. Notice how the RNC rhetoric is groupist.
@XSGeek , I disagree. Tribalism is more generic and is associated with the individual's self-referenced identity. You might be tribal, but extending the irrelevant attributes is groupist. i.e. "Conservatives are moral, Liberals are immoral."
You could also be tribal and not be a groupist. Sport fans are tribal, but probably don't assign irrelevant attributes to all of their fellow fans or rivals.
@XSGeek I think we're all just trying to peel away at this stinky onion called society. Thanks for removing one more layer for me! 🙂
