Racism is the blanket devaluation of people because they belong to another ethnic group. That was once normal. For example: black people were seen as half human and half animal. Today we know that this was totally wrong. There's only one human race, the Homo Sapiens. All others are extinct Interestingly, there was no racism in the Roman Empire. There is even no latin word for race. The Romans divided mankind in civilized and barbarians. Origin and skin color did not matter.
It is a commercial for California Raisins And raisins be Black. The Black kind anyways And the "artists" invoked are Black too. And no one got too bent out of shape over it. We are too sensitive today. Are these commercials, "racist"? In a bad way, of course. Moi
