They key word here is choose. You might end up hanging with the same race because of where you grew up or whatever but choosing is the key word. I think if you choose to and make a conscious decision to avoid other races, yeah, your a racist, but the word is used so often these days, who cares ? As far as hiding behind the disguise of 'racial superiority', in my experience, racism is about an inferiority complex, not a superiority one. Flatbooty, I fail to see how being afraid of a huge 6 2 muscular black men, as you have commented before, has anything to do with a superiority complex ? Most racists I've met regardless of their complexion are always living in great fear, grappling onto feelings of superiority as a way to disguise their weak egos.
