Answer:

modern racism

Step-by-step explanation:

Just to have a negative feeling about another race or culture with no bearing is absolutely and totally wrong. This does not mean that it's not still happening or it is not accepted. It IS happening and it IS accepted.

It does not matter what the fancy term or definition is. Subtyping, in group favoritism and minimal group paradigm all lends itself to a feeling that one "race" is superior to the other. Offering a dissection of rude, and corrupt behaviour with the euphemistic terms creates an abstract form of what it really is and offer it up as an examination piece rather than an active practice that needs to be stopped as soon as possible.

Calling it modern racism is just a dismissal of all the other things that do happen that cost the lives and continue to cost the lives of innocent persons just born in this time in the skin they have been born in. The first fix is to call it what it is without the use of any fancy terms. Then we can move to the next step of slowly cutting out the destructive ideas that foster and continue to multiply racism.
