I'm currently trying to write a paper for my abstract thinking class and need help. The topic is racism. Just tell me what you would define racism as. Thanks.

I would define it as discriminating against, or thinking less of, a person based on their race. I'm not the best at writing definitions though, that's just what I thought of off the top of my head.
Google definition - "the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races."

That's only supremacy.
To truly define racism, one would need to say "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior."
