No. They were said by overly emotional bandwagon people who will jump to racial conclusions and didn't do their research other than some shocking videos (and not actual cultural research), and are typically unwarranted as far as my actual first-hand experiences with those ethnicities/nationalities go IRL. Also, those feelings aren't just "this ethnicity/nationality has traits like this and that", but actual "this ethnicity/nationality has traits like this and that and therefore they deserve to be hated/nuked/boycotted/massacred/etc". Political correctness is one thing but hate is another. I've always had some politically incorrect views of some cultures (even my own), but it never really crossed into hateful feelings.
Also, those feelings are often reverse-racist/reverse-xenophobic, and sometimes even lead me to become insecure myself.
The internet made my mind racist
