Really? You want to make this a disorder? We already have enough bullshit disorders. Yes racism is very unpleasant but I do not think its a mental disorder. Also can you imagine trying to enforce this?
One person makes a slightly racist joke with friends and suddenly he is on medication. Forcing people to sleep with a race they don't find attractive. People being too scared to mention what a criminal looks like to the police since they don't want to be in an asylum.
Do we need more ways of restricting a persons rights? We all drug up children for bull shit like ADD/ADHD against their will. Instead of teaching them coping skills instead.
I hate racism yes but labeling it as a mental disorder has very dangerous outcomes. Now no if someone is going around in a white cloke saying "Kill all black people!" clearly they have a serious problem.
However this is way too easy to abuse. I have seen people of colour pick on people and when you ask them to stop they call you a racist. I have seen people tell people off for using the term "Gay" when referring to a homosexual person.
Even though they made a commercial saying its rude to use "Gay" as a doregitory term since it offends "Gay" people. So does that mean we are suddenly able to use gay as a bad term now? Since gays do not want it to have anything to do with them?
I disagree with racism but I don't see this going down well. People can say you are racist since you told them the person who attacked you was White, African, Hispanic. Since you are apparently saying all people of that race are bad since you said ONE person of that race harmed you.
IIN I think being racist could be considered a minor mental disability
