You can be racist towards fat people, thin people, old people, ugly people. Racist means singling someone out and being nasty.

rac·ism
The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

No, your not understanding what I'm trying to say. If you were taking the piss out of a fat person, then you can be classed as being racist towards them as you are singling them about and abusing them. Dont forget as well people launch racist attacks against white people it's not all one sided.

i know a coloured person can be rasist against a white, i was just givin an example. if i singled someone out i wouldnt be a racist, id be discriminating them. racism is abotu RACE (not get that form its name?), just coz someoen weighes more or less doesnt mean they are now of a different race! same as sexism, thats a type of discrimination but refers to a particular area of it
