I agree.....Racism is acting upon a prejudice that one may have. If I post a funny picture of a drunk Irish guy, or a picture of an Italian wearing a wife beater, or a picture of an Indian working in a 7-11 it would be funny. However, If I were in a position of power & decided not to hire someone based on their race, gender or religious beliefs....that would be racism.
