The words "racism" and "racist" are used for opinions anti racists dislike. Consequently, we should distinguish between race bigotry and race realism.
Race bigotry is disliking people of other races simply because they are of other races. A white race bigot is equally hostile toward Negroes and Orientals, even though Orientals tend to be more intelligent, obedient to the law, and monogamous than whites, especially white Gentiles. (By "Oriental" I mean China and nations that learned civilization from China, especially Korea, Japan, and Vietnam.)
Race realism consists of the following beliefs. Those that cannot be proved now will be testable when more is learned about human genetics and human evolution.
Race is an important biological classification of humans. A person's race, or race mixture, can usually be determined by appearance, and always by DNA analysis.
The different races differ significantly in average characteristics important to the creation and maintenance of successful societies and civilizations. These are intelligence, obedience to the law, and monogamy. These differences are the result of evolving in response to different population pressures lasting for thousands of years. Obedience to the law and monogamy are more flexible than intelligence. Nevertheless, at any time, in any population, members of some races will tend to be more law abiding and monogamous than members of other races.
