What word should we use besides race and racist?

A comment a fellow jelly made caused me to think of this Q. I often use the word racist loosely when describing a group, the word race not as much. I know Jews aren’t a race, nor are Hispanics, or people from the Middle East, and we could go on and on. The fact is we do sometimes group people for various reasons including by race, religion, ethnicity, region, etc.

What word can we use that covers all of it? I think you need to write a long phrase to accurately cover it. You can say groups or minority groups to mean a bunch of different groups, but what about the word racist and antisemitic, how are you going to put that together in one word?

I’m all for evolving the word racist to mean: assuming negative attributes about a group and being hateful towards any group of people. In the day of texting it’s a reasonable shorthand I think.

Some will probably argue we shouldn’t even think race anymore, I understand that, but as long as there is injustice and hate towards a “race” it’s impossible to avoid the language I think.
