I don't know whether sqldba was suggesting something racist, but I would say it is not necessary to identify a particular race hint at a racist viewpoint.

When Ronald Regan said "welfare queen", did he mean to imply "black woman on welfare"? If I write, "Middle-eastern people are lazy" do I mean to imply "Arabs are lazy - but not necessarily Jews"?

I also wonder whether you can have a racist view of your own race. For example, a stereotype is that black people are inherently bad at math - are there any blacks that believe this?
