Is it okay to be racial? Or are we talking about being racist?

Is there a difference? What IS the meaning of either word anyway.

According to MY dictionary,

• RACIAL means "relating to the relationships between different races of people who now live in the same country or area".
• RACIST refers to "someone who believes that people of their own race are better than others, and who treat people from other races unfairly and sometimes violently".

So my question is : Are we all racial or racist in nature? Your answer is only true to yourself. Ask yourself which one describes you better. For more interesting reading on this, go to :
