remove word 'racist' from aussie dictionary., page-54

stereotyping = racism

Perhaps it is now called that.

However in my book I find certain groups prone to do certain things, so my actions rightly or wrongly are base on my life's experience. I use stereotyping to reduce the chances of ...being ripped off, being bashed, having my car stolen, risking my health and so on, including having a bit of fun.

I stereotype based on my own experience, but respect the individual regardless. Stereotyping on its own is not racism, it is an opinion, but to act on that stereotyping without any respect for the individual is racism.

The lines blur according to the reader.
