My vote is No. Some people are way to quick to label people or actions as racists.

Good poll. Stereotyping is pretty common and is not the same as racism.

The influence of culture is far greater on society than race. I think that it is okay to say that one culture is superior to another.

I'm personally biased against the following groups, for reasons given.

Mayans: bloodthirsty bastards
Goths: bloodthirsty bastards
Carthagineans: bloodthirsty bastards
Philistines: bloodthirsty bastards
Akkadians: bloodthirsty bastards

Then again, I don't know much about these people, and if I had more interactions with them, I might not hate them so much. Are there any Goths or Philistines around?

I think the word you are looking for is stereotyping... and you are correct it is not racism...it can be positive in fact, although it is normally a negative assumption about a group or breeding population made by another group...and in that respect it may be racist...If it is a negative assumption based on the color of skin, ethnicity, religion, etc., it is indeed a racist assumption...

But perhaps it might simply be the assumption that all guys who fuck girls with cocks are fags...

That's negative stereotyping, albeit not a racist assumption, but an assumption most folks would make...Are they wrong?

the very term RACISM has been a false tool ,generally used by those on the left of politics to attack those that do not fall into line and embrace MULTICULTURALISM.
There is only ONE race on Earth, the Human race.There are different colours,languages,religions,cultures but we all have common ancestors.
Therefore I am not a racist,I just don't like All religions,a lot of other cultural practices,etc
In Australia there is a MULTICULTURAL industry, often controlled by those that have come from some of the most fucked up anti Western places on Earth.Funny how we have to keep being humanitarian, whilst the Japanese virtually shut the door.
Tell people here that you are nothing more than a walking ATM in Thailand and that you are economically discriminated against( 200bht for farang to enter a National park 30bht for the wife,1500bht for the Grand Palace 200bht for the wife.)because you are white and they are shocked and also having to become invisible while the wife does all of the price talking in Thailand and most Australians don't believe it.
Under this ASIAN principle they wouldn't complain if we started to charge them $20 to go to the zoo in Melbourne, whilst the Aussies pay $5 .
I would await the outcry from the Multicultural lobby and the tirade from the Asian despots crying RACISM.
Don't be fooled any longer!!!!

Voted no, i think two different terms. On a personel level we all stereotype,regardless of background sometimes we stereotype because of our social background and standing. Racism is different, i think that racism is an attack on a persons colour and culture.

Well hope i made some sense, because i'm pissed as a newt!

What about Americans and Europeans? Now those are some seriously bloodthirsty bastards.
The inquisition, the holocaust, the slave trade, the genocide of native people in the Americas, WWI and WWII, the rape and pillage of Africa, etc...

It always seemed a bit odd to me that when your experience leads you to voice negative impressions of a group, someone is always quick to trash you for 'stereotyping.' If, on the other hand, that same experience leads you to voice positive impressions of a group, mostly you're just told how culturally aware and sensitive you are.

So Racial stereotyping by the airlines and security personnel is ok?

Indians, Pakistanis and all Arabs being strip searched on entry and exit from the US?

If this isnt Racism, then i dont know what is....
