Common misconception: See the topic on Genesis 9:18-27, which explains the scriptural passage has nothing to do with racism and prejudice. This is an important topic as the Genesis 9 passage seems to still be discussed from people who are Biblically illiterate and by those people who are racists.

Two of the best scriptures, of many, that show that God loves:

Everyone from every location of the world,
Everyone of every tribe, and
Everyone of every language.

are Revelation 7:9 and Matthew 24:14. Both of these two scriptures, of many, without any doubt prove to all of us that racism and prejudice is scripturally wrong and evil.

Revelation 7:9	After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
Matthew 24:14	And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

Racism is Learned

It is this author's belief that racism initially has nothing to do with ethnicity, but at the core of a person's thought processes.

The person who thinks and acts with a ethnicity racism is only reacting to the negativity and wrongful thinking inside of their thought processes, that has found way to express itself which is based on evil and based on the unknown.
These types of people, when having no other ethnicities around them, will find other avenues of prejudice to victimize others such as age, athletic abilities, financial success, intellectual accomplishments, etc.

Given time, the incorrect thought process of racism can grow if it is not counteracted upon by correct thinking of everyone is equal regardless of any differences of appearance. In the 1960s, the United States had a very successful advertisement on Television and in the Print Media which correctly explained that:

Racism is learned.
Handed down from one generation to another.

A Hypothetical Paradox

One of the paradoxical points of racism is the incorrect belief that the skin color of a racist is why the person is a racist. A person's ethnicity does make them born a racist.

Consider two questions:

A Purple Man and hates all Green People. Does a Green Person think the racism is because the Purple Man was born Purple?
If the Green Man could switch his color to Purple, then would that automatically make him now a racist?

Christian Logic

The person who is on the receiving end of racism and reacts in thought or deed with prejudice, against the other person's ethnicity, is also demonstrating racism.

Does Everyone have a Preconceived Notion?

It can almost go without saying that there is absolutely no one on the planet who does not have preconceived or initial prejudice with:

Notions of what other people that are different may be like, or
Judgmental feelings because of anything different from someone of another country, or
Fearful of those who look different.

Someone who is prejudice is totally different from being a racist. The two words do not mean the same thing.

Prejudice means a unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought or reason.
Racist means a belief that an ethnicity is the primary determinant of human traits and capabilities; and those racial differences produce:
a) an inherent superiority which may result in discrimination towards others.
b) a belief their ethnicity is not superior to others.

These are some examples of prejudice:

Someone who is always very clean and smells good but dislikes someone who smells bad.
Someone who is very organized and neat in their life feels superiority towards those who are not organized.
Someone who makes a salary / income that is higher than others and then looks down on those making less income.
Someone who is physically fit and looks down on those who are not.
Someone who is youthful and then thinks older people cannot be as smart as they are.

Racism, Racial Profiling or Racial Fear is very different from prejudice. Consider:

In the English language, the word "Love" has several meanings such as brotherly love, spousal love or lover of specific types of foods. If embezzlement occurs at a company do people initially suspect one ethnicity but in another type of crime the opposite ethnicity is initially suspected? This is obviously wrong, but we are conditioned with preconceived notions that are programmed to often by the Media, our peer group or repeated experiences.
If we see all terrorist attacks are done by a specific group do, we subconsciously fear that group?
If one ethnicity treats the same ethnicity with profiling in criminal matters should profiling stir up people's emotions towards the negative?

Currently in this year of 2016 there is an extremely noticeable effort in the media; entertainment industry of movies and TV; and also, in the work place to eliminate racism. The question is there a way to determine if anyone of every ethnicity, are in any small or large way thinking or acting in ways that are racist?

As Christians, we know that God absolutely loves us all and there is no one superior than another. There are many scriptures such as Galatians 3:28, that prove this.

Galatians 3:28

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Sadly, in the current world, racism still exist which can be seen in travels to all the places which humanity exists. Countless examples of racism from every ethnicity against another can be found that not one ethnicity can claim superiority or say they are the victim more than others with the exception of the Jews with the attempted genocides throughout the ages.

In the year 2016, the United States, South Africa and some other countries there is a term called Affirmative Action which automatically guarantees and promotes one racial group over another. While the benefits and justification are arguably valid and absolutely needed there is clearly a problem because there is no end date, along with the following problems:

Clarification for incompetence on keeping an employee,
Forced expense on a private enterprise, or
Completely excluding other minority racial groups.

Obviously, there is no end date on being the victim of racism.

Racism Test

The following questions were compiled from several ethnicity sources for the purpose of your own evaluation.

They are not meant to be an all-encompassing list or the most definitive list. Additionally, the ordering of the questions does not mean an order of significance or importance because they came from sources of all racial ethnicities.

Assuming you live in a place that there is more than one ethnicity then judge yourself on your responses. Some questions have required some explanation because myopic view points and ignorance. Lastly, remember that Satanic Forces use many weapons to destroy society along with Christians.

Racism is definitely one of the greatest weapons of Satanic Realm!

#	Question	Correct answer
1	Do you have friends of other ethnicities that you do social activities with outside of your work environment? As an example, these are friends who you regularly go to dinner with, watch sporting events with, go to their homes and study the Bible with.	Yes
2	Do you believe your ethnicity is superior than specific other ethnicities in certain areas? This can be something such as a belief or thought that a ethnicity is the best in management, a specific sport or smarter.	No
3	Do you believe a specific ethnicity should be given special benefits because of the past wrongs done to the ancestors because of their ethnicity such as slavery? This is difficult for some people but consider the consequences of unfairness if one person gets anything at the expense of another ethnicity when the person paying the expense did nothing racial and the benefactor is getting something they did not earn.	No
4	Do you feel anger when called a racial word or insult against your ethnicity? As a Christian, the correct thought we should have is pity for the person saying anything racial wrong because that person is ignorant and is a tool of Satanic Forces. Feelings of indignation can be thought of as normal but as a Christian we need to remember that Jesus suffered insults and even extreme violence without retaliation. With great sadness, Satanic Forces are winning in this area when hostile aggregation towards the insulter or damage to private property is done. Explanations by people doing violence and mayhem over a word has been "I wanted them to pay for all the wrongs in the past done towards my ethnicity", which is extremely wrong and illogical since one person is never responsible for anyone else's actions especially their whole ethnicity group. Any and ALL negative words must never be punishable by violence or destruction! By doing anything violent or destruction of property actually creates more violent thoughts and potentially future violence of revenge and discrimination. Retaliation against another ethnicity over racists words proves that the person doing retaliation has racists thoughts or is a racist. The rhetoric question is "are you putting yourself in the place of Judge, Jury and Executioner?" Remember in Romans 12:19 that God says vengeance is mine ...

13	Affirmative action was and is necessary in many places in the world for every ethnicity. Do you think it should only be given to one ethnicity group even if there are other minority ethnicity groups?	No
14	Do you think an ethnicity group who may be in the majority in one area but the minority in another area is not eligible to Affirmative Action? Do you think if a majority ethnicity group who becomes a minority racial group is not eligible to Affirmative Action?	No

23	If you are in a minority ethnicity group, do you think you should be protected from losing your job even when the company has to terminate jobs because revenues are down so only people of the majority ethnicity should be terminated.	No
24	Do you want the same penalties for hate crimes and hostile ethnicity comments along with actions in the workplace applied to all ethnicities?
