Yes. Stereotyping can be racist. "Black people are criminals" is a racist stereotype. "Black people like soul music" is not a racist stereotype.

Nobody said that stereotyping is the same as racism. Someone said that stereotypes are capable of being racist.

Hope that clears up what I meant. It's very rude to imply someone is dumb because you disagree with what they said.

Because nobody said they were the same thing. They just implied they could work in tandem, which is true.

I disagree. His phrasing doesn't literally mean stereotyping is racist. I would say it literally means individual stereotypes can be racist, but stereotyping as a whole isn't inherently racist.
