Etymology
The word racist comes from race (a word borrowed from French and Italian meaning 'group' or 'breed') and the ending -ist meaning 'a person who believes or supports something'. So, to be racist is to treat one race as better or worse than others, which is why the word means showing prejudice or discrimination.
