IS THIS RACIST?

I find the word racist offensive and I believe we will never end racism until we stop talking about it. Eliminate checking off your ethnicity when you fill out forms. We are all the same. Dealing with all the same problems. Start looking out for others. Stop singling people out based on their differences.
Reminds me of this:

And I completely agree, by the way.0 -
I suggested that genetically, many Asians are naturally smaller framed, and that maybe they are better at metabolising the diet because through time they have become accustomed to it. This already had several people in the chat crying 'racist'.
My friend you know what you are talking about. Its genetic pre-disposition. For example, given that samoans, hawaiins, and native eskimo are related ..swap their diets around..give eskimo population high carb, high fructose, and lean fish,,hey'd die not too mention that they might develop other sicknesses. Im looking for the link but I might have something to coroborate this,.0 -
AND THE TERM YOU Are DESCRIBING IS, BIOCOMPATIBILTY

I don't think it's racist.
Ha! Nice! Yeah, I think so many people get their shorts in a knot over anything these days... Find an article or something with scientific evidence...Maybe that wills shut up the crybabies.0 -
Science is not racism....
You gave a logical answer and the people you were chatting with were not logical they were emotional. Emotions make you stupid, hence why they threw out the race card.0 -
Personally I don't think it was racist But I am not Asian. You were just making an observation though. I'm also laughing at some of these comments by white people. I don't have anything against white people but I think they have no say in whether or not something is racist if it doesn't have to do with their own race. I am not saying all white people are racist but since white is the dominant race i don't really think they know when they're being racist or know what it's like to be on the receiving end.0

Sorry, what!? White is the dominant race, says who!? I'm white and I definitely know what it's like to be on the receiving end of racism - I'm Australian and I've had aboriginals call me white ****, white *****, every name under the sun. One even threw a glass bottle at my head when I was just crossing the street. Pardon the pun but, racism is just not so black and white these days.0 -

Your response sounds a bit racist.0 -

Racist, no.
Stereotypical, yes!
This is what I was thinking. A lot of people don't know the difference between racism and stereotyping.0 -

Eating Chinese food is racist. We should all stick to our own race's cuisine and not mix them.0
