I don't think I'm racist, though it could be argued.
I think that there are general differences between races, some good and some bad, but it has nothing to do with skin color. It's all about culture and the situation in which you're raised. Hispanics tend to get a "lazy" stereotype, which is based on the truth that they would rather spend time with their family than be on time for work, due to the culture. Black families in America were still very recently oppressed, and because of this there is still a pretty unified culture; even those who have worked their way to the top generally have the same cultural background, and that can perpetuate stereotypes. Why wouldn't you take after your parents if you look up to them? Every individual is different, and many completely defy stereotypes, but I'm certain I fit into a ton of "white" and even "Jewish" stereotypes simply because I was raised in those cultures.
