I'm repulsed by lots of cultural customs... From eating your relatives' brains to producing baby girls ears when they are born. It's normal to dislike certain customs, not racist.
I believe I have the right to my opinions, but I do feel guilt about having opinions that have the power to offend, somehow. I hate offending people, but it doesn't change the fact that I am myself offended by certain customs and ways of life. There is good and beauty in every culture too of course, but sometimes it's overshadowed by something horrifying. If no one questioned anything, the world would never change for the better.
Plenty of cultural practices are wrong. I'm pretty discriminatory against Muslims and I don't think anything is going to change that. I just don't talk about it openly. I think it's wrong to discriminate based on sex or color.... It doesn't seem as wrong to discriminate based on religion or culture. Those are choices.
Opinions will always offend, because someone will always take them personally.
The only thing you can really do is try your best to understand what brings on such customs and don't kick your own ass about what you can't comprehend.
For example, I can't wrap my head around the appeal of twerking. I start to try but then my brain becomes numb. So then I say to myself, "Who fucking cares about these awkward new trends?" Followed by a feeling of peace.
So, don't give a shit about his opinion of your opinion and then you can be happy.
Does being repulsed by a certain culture make me racist?

Don't feel guilty for having thoughts. Only acting on bad thoughts:)
