Racism is a belief that one race is inferior to another. Committing a crime against a white person does not mean you think they are inferior or that the motivation for the crime was race. So, some examples of evidence of racism would include things like a crime committed against someone where their motive was clearly race and not financial gain or some other standard motive, discriminatory treatment for a non-white candidate when all other meaningful qualities are equal (caveat: sometimes discrimination based solely on race is appropriate).Originally Posted by Sinfix_15
These statistics do not show motivation. Blacks could murder Whites at 1000 times the rate Whites murder Blacks, but that doesn't prove racism. Crime is just one location racism could manifest itself but motivation is often hard to determine so you may have better luck providing evidence from other categories of life.
