...because you said racism could apply to any form of prejudice so prejudice against those of differing opinions must appy.
I don't conform to this view but, from what you have said, you must.
What?
I said that racism could apply to any form of prejudice when applied to such concepts as nationalities, ethnicities, religions or customs.
I have never said that racism could apply to a difference of opinion. That is a nonsense distortion of what I have said. Please reproduce my comments that led you to believe that I said such a thing.
Otherwise, I can only conclude that your explanation, so far, is utter nonsense.
But we'll continue...
...because that's the nature of language and because you don't accept our word, there must be another - IF our word is wrong.
Ok 'types' it is for the time being.
What's the nature of language? You are referring to something not yet defined. Some thing which you may have in your mind, but you have not yet guided us to what it is.
It's like me saying, "that's the nature of colours and because you don't accept our word, there must be another - IF our word is wrong."
It's just gobbledygook.
So another example of your explanation being gobbledygook.
I'll try and make it easy for you -
Just logical and sensible will do, not referring to some thing in your mind which we have no idea what you are on about.
So another example of your explanation being gobbledygook.
These two cats are of different 'types'?
Do you agree that this would be the equivalent of the different 'types' of people?
Yes,absolutely, some are white, black, siamese, whatever. But they are all cats. They can interbreed, they have the same gene pool, etc.
So another example of your explanation being gobbledygook.

What is an accepted word for these 'types'?
In cats or other animals we use the term breed.
But just like shire horses, race horses, they are all horses.
We don't use the term breed for humans, they are all humans, we use the term ethinicities, nationalities, etc. Some might use the term race, but in the socially constructed concept of race.
Some might try to argue that Darwin's Victorian, outdated, scientifically dis-proven concept of race still holds true. But they are usually the older generation who are clinging to such outdated concepts to justify their racist ideology.
So another example of your explanation being gobbledygook.
...because language, especially English, has different words for nearly everything.
Anyway - monsoon, downpour, torrent, deluge, drizzle, light shower and indeed, mist.
Quite, all descriptions of the different types of rain. But there must be an overarching word for these different types of rain.
Let me put you out of your misery. There is, it's rain. Just as the overarching word for the different types of people is people, or humans, humankind, or lots of other similar words.
I think, in summary, we can assume that your whole explanation has been verbose gobbledygook.
