no, that would be stereotyping.

in general, you have racism, prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination. All related, but all distinct.

It's definitely moddable. Inconsistently moddable.

It depends.

Black people make amazing barbecue.

I can't for the life of me imagine anyone actually being offended by that comment which is really an incredible compliment more than anything. But if it gets deleted, whatever.

Some generalizations are on the positive, but some are deliberately intended to be offensive. The difference isn't even all that subtle imo.

Depends on context. If I say black people in the US are generally poorer that's just stating a statistical fact.

It would definitly be racist if I said that's the product of their nature

Can't positive stereotypes be damaging in their own right?
