See it in action here, > [@Shodan, HurricaneDitka, and George Zimmerman: Three Racist Peas in a Racist Pod](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/shodan-hurricaneditka-and-george-zimmerman-three-racist-peas-in-a-racist-pod/825691/245): > > For me, racism is wrong because it is an unjustified and harmful overgeneralization - it is **generally** wrong to discriminate against somebody on the basis of involuntary affiliation such as race; because the affiliation is involuntary, the person has done nothing to deserve discrimination; therefore, except the rare case where race is relevant, racism is both unjustified and harmful and therefore wrong.
