English

Etymology

racial +? -ism. Coined in 1882 based on the older use of "race" as a synonym of "nation, tribe, ethnic group", later senses (from 1890) from the use of "race" for racial categories.

Noun

racialism (countable and uncountable, plural racialisms)

1. (Britain, dated) Tribalism, nationalism.
   • 1890, Alden's Manifold Cyclopedia of Knowledge and Language, vol. 25:

     The modern dogma of nationalism, as maintained by a class of theoretic politicians (and which might more properly be called racialism [italics in original] — leaving nationalism to denote the recent modified application of socialism in pol. econ.)

2. The belief that humans can be categorized as belonging to distinct races, each race being characterized by fixed and heritable traits.
   • 2000, Robert S. Levine, Martin Delany, Frederick Douglass, and the Politics of Representative Identity, The University of North Carolina Press, chapter 2:

     Never mentioning Delany by name, Vashon lambastes the “combatants” for their racialism, insisting that a belief in “a natural distinction between the white and colored races” only legitimates the racism of blacks’ oppressors.
3. Racism, belief in different races and that some are superior; policies or practices promoting the dominance of one or more races over others.
   • 1949, Manitoba School Journal, page 19:

     This is The Lie of North American Superiority — an assumption based mainly on our superior living standard. […] This Lie of Superiority, this ill-disguised racialism in us who are always denouncing racialism in other people, is more than an unpleasant breach of good manners. It has deep and evil effects upon the affairs of the world.

   • 1959 September 23, E. B. Ader, "Conflicting Political and Economic Systems", in , Naval War College Review, page 8:

     Racialism and ultra-nationalism are a major part of the fascist doctrine. We all recall the Hitler emphasis on the Aryan race and I think you can visualize for a moment the Nazi propagandist telling the German people, "You are superior!" Nobody argues with this. If someone confronts you and says, "You know, I am firmly convinced you are the superior type," you don't deny it. […] So the selling of racialism is not nearly as difficult as it might on the surface appear to be. Coupled with this racialism, the ultra-nationalism suggests that if a race is superior why then should it confine itself to the limited territory in which if finds itself.
