This is where I think careful use of more precise language would be beneficial.
The majority of these racial or cultural generalizations are simply stereotyping, which is a pretty typical human process we use to organize and make sense of the world. Some of them are useful, some of them are benign, and some of them are harmful.
A problem I have is the saturation of the term
racism and how its overuse is providing a defense of or for actual racism/racists.
