Quite clearly, the definition defines a racist as one who believes that people of OTHER races (NOT their's) are not as good as their own, or that members of OTHER races treat members of their race (the racist) unfairly.

It's very clear.

CB, you just contradicted yourself.

You have the cambridge dictionary saying one thing, then the american heritage dictionary and dictionary .com saying something different.

Only the Cambridge dictionary says that "someone who believes that other races are not as good as their own and therefore treats them unfairly:" is a racist, but the others simply say " a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others"

With that last definition, whites can hate whites, blacks can hate blacks.

I disagree. The sources all point to one thing in common. And that is it is based on feeling of one race to another.

No it doesn't. If you're black, but you feel the rest of the people of the heritage and no good, and then you idolize another race, whether it's whites or whomever, you're being racist.
