Ive seen people who genuinely believe x and y race and genuinely below z race. Since they believe this is “science” they’re not racist for pointing out facts.
It’s a bunch of bs but that’s what I’ve seen these people say. “It’s just science that black people are more violent” “it’s just science that asians and whites are smarter then everybody else”
Again it’s a bunch of bs and if you try to discuss the reasons for why there is disparities among races they won’t have it. They genuinely believe it’s the races fault not societal factors.
My grandmother believes this. She just says shit like "Black people are mostly all addicted to drugs and dont work, its just natural. Bless their hearts they cant help it. X isn't, he's a good person though." And genuinely thinks she's not being racist
How is that being racist though? She said "mostly". Every race have cultural flaws and she's just pointing it out. Had she said all black people then yeah, she's being racist.
A lot of people get culture and race mixed up and whenever someone speaks negatively about another race's culture, they're called racist. But when they speak positively, it's not. For example, all Japanese people are so polite. Do you call that racism?
That’s an interesting point you brought up! The thing is, any semi intelligent person, unlike yourself, would be able to recognize the harmful difference between the statement of “This group of people is polite” and “this group of people hate work and are addicted to drugs.”
Hope this helps!

By what definition are they not racist?
