To be racist you have to actually be a racist and mean what you say. A lot of people forget that when flinging around the -ism words. Racism is the thought that certain races are by nature inferior to yours. If you don't think that then you're not a racist and as such you cannot be racist.

If you prefer around to be white people you're not automatically a racist. Preferring one thing does not mean hating the other. That's why this commercial is not racist unless that was the intent of the producers.

Iis nice to know there is another person who understands what the word  "racism"   means.    The word is used in the place of "prejudice",

'preference", and a variety of other manners that does not fit the meaning.  I seee the word "racisim used far more often improperly than it s used properly. As strong a word as "racisim" is, it should not be used improperly.

Most people (IMO and experience) are not racist, but virtually all people are prejudice in some form or fashion-  When the words/definitions get confused, people get acused of something they are often not guilty of

It's like people being called pedophiles when they find the body of a 17 year old sexy.
