Is racism worse than regular bullying/ teasing?

In my opinion, racist bullying is much worse considering that I have experienced both kinds. I love my heritage and being physically harassed because of my ethnicity doesn't only hurt me physically, but emotionally. Regular bullying (by which I mean name-calling and regular highschool clique issues). One of my friends said that he got picked on because he was short and he said that that was just as bad as racism. He wouldn't know because he is caucasian. Anyway, let me know what you think. (And no mean comments please! Thanx)

    It's worse if you were the only one like yourself in a big crowd such as a school. At least with racism , people have safety in numbers in most cases. But some cases where there's say one asian, or one spanish guy in a crowd, then it becomes worse. I wouldn't say it's the worst though, because your race is something you can be proud of. If you're being bullied for lack of money or bad skin, that can hurt deeper I would have thought.

    Young bullies go on to develop racist tendencies if not checked.

    Hating someone just because they are different overall is just wrong.
