That\'s not the point. BurnTheWitch describes a scenario in which a small community, not comprehending the powers of whomever they\'ve decided to persecute, assigns an arbitrary label to them that is in no way accurate but which allows for swift execution. With FantasticRacism, the source of the power is known and disputed on its own terms, though a few stereotypes are bound to get mixed in there. Literal racism is not required for it to be this trope; it only needs to be an allegory for it. It also indicates a more prolonged hatred within society itself, rather than just an isolated incident.

Also, there tends to be actual witch-burning involved.
