Their culture does. Where this person lives probably has a high percentage of uneducated rednecks that just happen to be black. That doesn't make her racist just because it's only black people who harass her. That makes them racist for calling her child "chinese" (and you a judgmental, self-righteous cretin.)
If culture is an excuse for racism in the western world, then the law books should rewrite the law to say 'these comments are racist, UNLESS you live in the ghetto'!
Stating that a person looks Chinese is not racist. Its an observation. It 'may' even be the choice of clothing or hairstyle or whatever. Racism is about stating something that is negative towards a race.
As for judgmental. That's the law 'judging', that's what it is, people (jury or whoever) make judgements on others, and the actual judge just hands down the sentence.
Although I can obviously understand your point on culture (its plainly obvious actually - of which is a racist comment too, just to make this clear). This is not an excuse to state only blacks do this, which strongly implies its a race issue.
That's my point.
Racist comments should not be allowed here, even if implied.
I suppose you're white so you may not understand, oh wait I'm white too - woops.
But obviously those blacks ONLY, don't understand ;)
If she considers her son being called 'chinese' offensive, then it is racism by your definition. Calling a native american 'chinese' just because of their appearance is akin to calling koreans, japanese, and cambodians 'chinese'. After all, they all look 'chinese', right? It's racism.
I am 'white', but I do live in a ghetto. Not everyone in a ghetto is black. Isn't that assumption racist?
IIN for black people to always make racial comments about my child?
