That was your idea.

I said this:

Very good. In a real world racism has no place. People cause problems, not
races. Groups, governments, military and organizations cause problems, not 
races.

Likewise I would also say:

Very good. In a real world racism has no place. People cause racism, not
races. Groups, governments, military and organizations cause racism, not 
races.


That is what I meant.

Then you have the equivalent of racism within each race in the form of 
stratification based on various criteria,
economic, political, religious, lifestyle, etc.

So racism is:  stratification of society based on various criteria, economic, 
political, religious, lifestyle, etc.

Non-race-based prejudice, bias, discrimination and bigotry is: stratification 
of society based on various criteria,
economic, political, religious, lifestyle, etc.
