  So when I say “all black people are thieves”, that is racist.

  So when I say “all Germans are thieves”…if it is not racist, what is it?

    Race is an immutable characteristic. Culture is a set of norms and attitudes.

      Being German is genetics, like being black.

      Not even new-yorkes? Then they are not really that stand offish, aren’t they?

      But is is okay to judge people by the color of their flag?

        You’re tripping dawg. Your argument is weak and you know it, which is why you’re trying so hard to twist people’s words.

        Culture is a set of norms, attitudes and behaviors. It’s not racist to predict behavior based on whether said people self-identity themselves as members of those cultures. It’s not a difficult concept to grasp, so stop intentionally misinterpreting what people are saying. You know what you’re doing is trolling.

    I tried to find the correct word or phrase to use, and the consensus seems to be “cultural racism”, so I guess it’s technically a kind of racism, even though it doesn’t directly relate to race. “Culturism” would be a more accurate word, I think.

      So it is so similar to racism that people call it cultural racism.

        It’s as similar to racism as any prejudice is. It’s just a lazy term coined, I’d bet, for the sake of quick understanding within the context of its era, rather than for semantic accuracy.
