Not by every definition, but as suckonthis9 would put it: "you are creating divisions in society". (Although I suppose you're not creating them... just perpetuating them.)
Particularly saying "how white/black/Asian... does this person look?", which is stereotyping people of different races as looking a certain way, and thus heavily implying that people who don't conform to those racial stereotypes aren't "normal" for their race, nationality, identity, whatever. That's ignorant.
So it depends on how you define racist. You're not discriminating or being hateful, but you're being very heavy-handed with racial stereotypes. Such heavy-handedness would indicate the sort of ignorance that characterises a racist person.
I never agreed with SOT9's 'creating divisions'. I wouldn't even say perpetuating. More like observing and discussing them. We can't get past them by ignoring them.
I miss that person, whoever they are. Maybe they have been relegated to the Quark Realm. Kickin' it with the VHATC-L2. Good times.
Yeah, I think he rarely complained at the right time about "creating divisions". Most of the time people weren't creating divisions at all. I think he just wanted the attention :P
Wasn't trying to perpetuate them. Just trying to expose them in others. Most of the time, when I do that, I throw something in that is far out of the common stereotypes just to break down their stereotypes in their head (like showing a chicken to someone who only knows the sterotypical Trex view of dinosaurs).
Would you consider this racist?
