Fact Check: True(?)

 To be racist means, at least in part, that you value some people less than others based on the color of their skin or their nation or continent of origin. That part is fairly straightforward. 

But what if you don't value anyone at all? What if you see those around you not as people, but as either followers to be exploited or enemies to be attacked, regardless of skin color either way? 

That would make you a miserable individual, sure. But I don't think we could really call you a racist. 

By this definition, I suppose the President's claim to be "the least racist person in this room" might actually be true. 

You can't be a racist if you despise everyone equally.
