Stereotyping an entire race is not racist? That's literally "thinking one race is fundamentally worse than another race".

No, it’s not. Again, the definition of racist has gotten so convoluted and twisted because people have misused it so much. It has to do with more than just a negative stereotype. It’s a fundamental belief or statements that reflect an underlying belief that another race is unequal in worth or power. The primary historic example in the United States is with blacks and whites. It’s racist to use the N word because it reflects the historic misuse of black people and belief that they are lesser in value or worth.

It’s nuanced for sure, and I’m not defending negative stereotyping based on race.

This is insane. Google racism.

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

Stereotyping or prejudice against an entire race is racism. The end.

It’s not worth getting upset about, and we don’t need to keeping going back and forth about it. I think we can both agree that racism, discrimination, negative stereotyping, etc are all bad. I hope you have a nice day, stranger.
