Stereotypes based on race are by definition, racist. It doesn't matter if they are perceived as positive or negative.

The majority of racism I see has nothing to do with hate, or any such strong emotion. It has to do with little things, like lowered expectations. |

I guess we have different definitions of racism then. When I hear someone is racist to me it means they are prejudice and dont think people who have a different skin color should have the same opportunities as them. If acknowledging statistical trends while also admitting exceptions makes you a "racist" then I guess Im a racist against my own race.

Understanding of the English language is not 'progressive'. Don't be silly. Racism, prejudice, and bigotry mean different things.

People who are racist can have a prejudice against black people and then overtly display it and become a bigot. Racism is passive, and most people are racist in one way or another. |
