The assumption that certain races are intellectually inferior to others is a form of individual racism, which occurs when an individual holds prejudiced beliefs and attitudes towards individuals of a different race. It is not institutionalized racism, which refers to systemic and structural discrimination within institutions or society as a whole, or conventional racism, which refers to overt and intentional displays of racism. Additionally, it is not heterosexist as this term refers to discrimination or prejudice against individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation.
