Do you think that treating people poorly and outright discriminate against them based on racism is only an ideological issue? To put it differently, do you think that South Africa's apartheid system is only a problem if you frame it through a communist/marxist perspective?

Actually, yes, because racism is an ideology and a world view that says your own race/lineage is better.

Racists do exist, AND communists try to control society.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Clearly racism exists, but not because of ideologies or political and/or economical theory.

Institutionalized racism in private companies has absolutely no relationship with any red herring like communism or marxism.

Blabbering about communism in a discussion over racism sounds like a lame attempt at a false dichotomy and whitewashing institutional and casual racism.
