Not at all. Racism is inability to see a character of a person, behind the color of their skin.

No, it is not racist to judge someone on the quality of their character. It may be wrong under certain circumstances, but race is a different animal. It is also probably incorrect to lump all of the people of a single race together and say that they all have this character trait. Human beings vary from one person to the next within any given society. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to be judgmental about another person, or race, and not be coming from a personal point of view. Personal points of view are usually very shallow, and limited to the one who is doing the judging and their perspective, and so judgment is also shallow and limiting.It is not racist unless you judge other races or individuals of that race according to the specifications of their race, like skin color, etc.

No, racism is prejudice against a member of a different race. Not even skin color figures: the Jews look white to me, yet were persecuted for the longest time all over (mainly white) Europe.

no because racism is discriminating someone else's color and culture...character is the product of our habit,habit is the product of our words, and words is the product of our thoughts..so be careful in thinking of judging others it might become your character..whatever race they maybe or personality they may have try to like people first then ask questions later...this will help us not to prejudice

I personally think it's not because racism has to do with their race. and judging someone by how they are isn't really like referring to their race. that's like discrimination or something. something that i don't like is that people might take a bad comment as a racist comment, which is dumb by the way. so yeah.

No, it is not racist to judge someone by their character, however, it is human nature. Try to remember that judging others could lead to your own judgement.
