1. A racist is someone who discriminates against or hates others because

Where did you get that definition (or did you just make it up) ?
Every dictionary I checked does not define a racist in that way.

Are your dictionaries telling you a racist is NOT someone who
discriminates against or hates others because of their race? Are you
going down the "racial superiority" route for your definition? That's
the staid old dictionary definition...racial superiority, but that just
masks the hate and discrimination of racists. Claiming

I think he is talking about the part where you redefined it to "the
word has come to include discrimination or hate based upon ethnicity,
country of origin or gender."

If someone doesn't like the Irish, they are racist?

Hating people because of their country of origin or ethnicity is very
similar to racism. Again, it is having that hatred for people because of
their race, ethnicity, country of origin, et cetera, the things about
themselves they are born with, and cannot change. And, no, religion
doesn't fall into that category, because people are not born *with*
religion, and if they become a member of a religious sect, they can
become a member of a completely different religious sect or, more
intelligently, *no* religious sect.
