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, a racist is a person who thinks one race is better than others and acts on that belief, which is why the word means someone who discriminates or is prejudiced.
