No, of course not. It's only natural that you would prefer your own ethnic group and be proud of their accomplishments. Though there are some special interest groups who have tried to undermine the accomplishments of Caucasians. All their talk about what is so important about dead white men and women any way.What a way to spread racial harmony. Racist has become the pet word for the 21 st century. I'm not Chinese myself but I greatly admire what they have done,especially the invention of eye glasses.

Since most people marry within their own group showing a "preference", this definition would make almost everybody racist and remove all meaning from the word. A better definition of racism is "a belief that all members of a race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race." That is you make value judgments about individuals based on their race.

I don't think so. Some people are more comfortable with the same kind of people, but they are missing the experience of learning about others and they are missing knowing some really good people by not expanding their circle of friends, but it is their choice.
One is a racist if one dislikes anyone because of their race; or thinks they are better than someone of a different race based solely on their race. One is a racist if one wishes ill to a group because of their race, or if one speaks negatively about someone for no other reason than their race, or if one does mean things to others because they don't like the race of the others.
In the first instance one is denying oneself an opportunity to grow and learn; but in the second one would attempt to deny that opportunity to others, and that would make one a racist.

That would make a person human, not racist. However, what do you mean by 'prefer'? If you mean hate other races as being inferior and disgusting, then that would make a person a racist.
