2. Actually it is called

Taxonomy

Using taxonomy we would classify racists as hatefullus idioromneys.

4. That's just idiotic. Not clever, not meaningful in the least.

The word is "taxonomy". Science does not recognize "races", that's strictly a social construct. Science classsifies human beings as "homo sapiens", period.

5. "idioromneys"

also makes a great descriptive term... it sounds very much like a genetically predisposed condition of known etiology, no known cure, degenerative neurological disorder... autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.

6. Foraging

This living thing is edible, that one is not.
