as long as you're not criticizing a race... then that's talking about something racial. otherwise, it would be called racism.

Depends on how personal you deem the racial differences. I can abstractly contemplate / discuss racial differences (skin color, etc. - thing that are objective), but that in no way affects the way I treat people of different races / nationalities. Therefore I do not consider myself a racist. It's not words, but ACTIONS which mark the racist (some words _can_ be action, there is also that.
My point is, some talking about something as racial is racist, but not all. So, the two are different.

Racial is an adjective where as racism is a noun.

It depends on what you regard as different. There is only one race. The human race. The only differences are external adaptations relating to the climate they originate from. Other than that, there are no differences.

There is only one race: Homo sapien sapien....so what's there to talk about? The extinct races such as Homo habilus, Homo erectus, and Homo sapien neanderthalensis? Or did you mean to pose a question about ethnicity, which is very different from race? Or did you want to discuss nationality? I'm confused...

Racial deals with ethnicity.
Racism is bigotry.

because it 'essentialises' a people - saying that they have innate, immutable qualities on the basis of their race. it's usually a stereotype and challenged by social constructivist theory.
