That depends on your understanding of racism. If you think "racism" encompasses absolutely everything that turns on race (like if a casting director only considers black people to portray MLK) then yes it is racist.
However, if you consider "racism" to only encompass issues where race is used to negatively/unfairly impact an entire race of people, then no it is not racist.
I personally do not hold the first viewpoint. |
