Some say "everyone's a little bit racist", where subconscious biases influence us even if we don't want them to.
So - ignoring this bit, I'm asking about intentional, consciously chosen actions or beliefs that aren't subconscious at all -
Are you racist?

Imagine you're offered a reward for correct answers to a guessing game.
You are shown faces alongside racial stereotypes. If you apply a rep. heuristic like "People with Chinese features are more likely to speak Mandarin than people without", should you say 'Yes' to this poll?

I have felt this way for a while. We all have prejudices and preconceived notions. That is a survival strategy. However, it's up to you whether they govern your actions and how you treat others.

Even subconscious bias is often falsely attributed to racism.
If I see a "brown" person in Mexico and start talking to the person in Spanish without any conscious evaluation of whether if that person speaks Spanish, am I a racist?

It’s entirely possible that 21% of people, accidentally tapped “yes” while trying to scroll... is that too optimistic?

Do you think you are better than others, or they are lesser than you, as a result of ethnicity?
If so, Racist.
If not, may have some racial issues, but a lesser breed of filth. We really need to start quantifying.
