Racism is said with hate. If you were to say all back people originated from Africa. That would not be racist, it would be fact. But here is some info. for all the racists.
Ultimately, we are all Africans. Studies of mitochondrial DNA have proven that all human beings are descended from a small population (less than a hundred individuals) that emerged from Africa about 60,000 years ago. The earliest written religious texts as well as the first documented monotheistic religion also developed in Africa. During the European dark ages, many ancient manuscripts were preserved in African libraries in places such as Ethiopia and Timbuctoo.

The first part of your question is an insult - the other is a compliment - You don't know the difference between the two? Racism is another term for 'prejudice' or 'bias' against one's race, sex, nationality, national origin, and religion. Racism cannot be 'good'. It's wrong, hurtful and degrading. It spreads hatred and sometimes causes violence - all because of a difference in skin color, which is no reasn to be racist to begin with.

That is a very interesting question. I've never thought about it like that before...
But couldn't that statement also be considered more "racial stereotyping" than actually racist? Or does that not make sense? I have no idea.

It all boils down to respect and a sense of being genuine with wanting to know more about other races and cultures.

"Racist/racism" are loaded words. What is considered "racism" can very well be good.
