> That said, there's definitely a tendency to call everything racist. Racism, by definition, implies the belief that one race is superior to others.

So if someone supports discriminatory policies not because they think people of other "races" are inferior, but purely because they would benefit from them (by finding jobs more easily, for example), you wouldn't consider them or their actions racist?

In such a hypothetical scenario, that someone would be just as likely to support policies that discriminate against people based on age, social class, language, the number of vowels in their last name etc. It being a race-based policy would be entirely coincidental. I wouldn't consider it racist, just being a dick.
