A Practical Guide to Racism by C.H. Dalton (Library Research)

According to Dalton, the human race is not an actual race, but rather a species divided into several species that are grouped based off of physical appearances.  Dalton states that "Racism is the dislike of another race as a whole, or of another person solely because he is a member of a certain race" (Dalton 3).  He goes on to explain that racism oversimplifies the differences in characteristics among individuals.  Later exclaiming that:

Stereotypes can be very useful in our everyday social interactions and decision-making.  They are actually a kind of survival instinct---a crude form of received inductive reasoning that can help us make snap judgements in situations where we do not know all the facts. (Dalton 4)

He categorizes the rest of the book by different ethnic groups and the specific stereotypes (and crude pictures) that label each one.  All in all, he claims that racism is hating a specific individual on the basis of their race, along with stereotypes that feed into the assumption of the person.
